Andy Bartholomew contributed to the airbnb/lottie-ios repository by building foundational improvements in animation networking and testing reliability. He introduced a LottieURLSession protocol in Swift, centralizing network configuration for Lottie animations and enabling global control or disabling of network requests, which improved testability and reduced regression risk. Andy also developed a deterministic snapshot testing mode by adding ReducedMotionOption.disabledMotion, allowing static rendering of animations to eliminate nondeterminism in tests. His work demonstrated depth in iOS development, animation handling, and testing strategies, resulting in more reliable CI pipelines and streamlined network behavior management across the Lottie animation ecosystem.
Month 2026-01 – Delivered a deterministic snapshot testing enhancement for the airbnb/lottie-ios repository by introducing ReducedMotionOption.disabledMotion mode, enabling static rendering of animations for snapshots to eliminate nondeterminism. This reduces flaky tests, improves CI reliability, and accelerates PR validation. Collaborated on the change with co-authored contributions to the commit that adds this mode, reinforcing cross-team alignment on testing reliability and UI consistency.

December 2025: Delivered foundational networking improvements for Lottie animations by introducing a new LottieURLSession protocol and integrating it into the animation loading path. Added LottieConfiguration.defaultURLSession to enable global configuration or disabling of network requests, improving testability, consistency, and flexibility across the Lottie ecosystem. This work reduces regression risk and simplifies network behavior changes across apps.
