No recruiter call. Just an automated email with a link to a iOS debugging test. You choose a 90 min time slot do it. During the 90 mins, they will require you to screen record.

When the online debugging test starts, you need to download a project from a private github repo. The project is very big. Certain sections of the code are marked with "DO NOT MODIFY". They give three different tasks to perform in this repo.
Task 1: There are a list page and detail page. Find some UI bugs and fix them. You need to be familiar with SwiftUI state management (Observable, State, etc) and MVVM.
Task 2: you are expected to create three different ways to concurrently fetch some data using an existing API. The three ways are: GCD (dispatch group), Combine (publisher), and Swift Concurrency (async await).
Task 3: You are supposed to debug a login issue. The login always fails or fails some of the time. It's likely a race conditioning issue. The SessionService they provided for authentication verification is completely incomprehensible to me. I have no idea how it works.
You are not allowed to use AI coding assistant. You are allowed to look stuff up in a browser but not on stackoverflow.

You get sent a cold email requiring you to complete a coding test. No human interaction, all setup and done on your own time. You are required to give the website access to your camera and desktop to ensure you're not cheating.
I very much dislike this process as it gives the employer all the advantage in this situation. For example, I can't even ask questions to determine if I'm a good fit or not. I have to straight up do a test.
Upon completing the test, I have still not heard back. No failure message, no success. I wasted 2 hours on this test. It's been two weeks with no reply. I even followed up and nothing...
Companies need to stop doing this kind of hiring process. They want to talk about "culture" and "family", but it's not a good start when the relationship begins with automation. The role is highly technical, so it's not like they were fielding thousands of applicants for which automation was required.
