June 2025 monthly summary focusing on UI cleanup and test stabilization for govuk-one-login/mobile-ios-common. Key work: removed hardcoded button icon definitions from XIBs (GDSError and GDSInstructions) to prevent incorrect icon application, ensuring consistent UI across builds. Updated tests to assert that button icons are nil, addressing a regression and improving UI reliability. The change was implemented via commit acff9adcfe52cee82f991585878cc77d9e7b097c, reflecting a targeted fix with minimal surface area. Overall impact: cleaner UI, reduced risk of icon-related regressions, and improved test coverage with a clear, maintainable change set. Technologies/skills demonstrated: iOS XIB/UI cleanups, test-driven updates, regression handling, commit hygiene (single-purpose commits).
