As someone who has mostly written early stage software with 1 to 3 developers, the single most reason to skip tests is the rapidly changing APIs. Also it is ok to ship somewhat buggy code. Use case validation and speed trumps accuracy. Also invariably a lot of early stage code is in the front end and FE testing is very time consuming. What has been immensely helpful is an automated build and deploy system, which quite honestly is very expensive to build in the iOS world. I just want a one click deploy to a clean machine every time I decide to deploy. This is kinda trivial in the backend world using containers but not so in the iOS world.
