I’m a hobbyist reverse engineer for over 5 years, a developer for longer, and the person working on Skype for CrossTalk. I’ve created this thread mostly for “fun facts” on Skype - tidbits of information that I think are interesting but not exactly worthy of a full technical writeup. (Others are free to contribute/discuss - I’d like to keep this thread free of “ETA”/progress discussion though, this is meant to be a fun thread.)
I guess I’ll start with my first one. Certain versions of Skype for iOS have a developer credits easter egg (implemented through the SKPSkypers class) - I believe this is triggered through the About page somehow. I don’t know how to trigger this, but I have extracted the credits for your viewing pleasure:
