I was particularly interested in Apple Pay however - even though its unlikely to reach the UK until 2015.
Writing automated acceptance tests of iOS apps has always been tricky. Prior to the introduction of Apple's UIAutomation framework, there was no official way of writing automated UI-driven tests for iOS.

I'm not a big fan of singletons, especially when they are used as they often are - as glorified globals. That being said, it occasionally makes sense to have some kind of shared instance of an object; not a true singleton that strictly prevents more than one allocation, but a convenient default instance.
