This app was submitted by an anonymous developer from Kharkiv.
Congratulations to the winners!

While the winners of the Android contest are likely to start getting bombarded with job offers now, we advise them not to get distracted just yet: the more important second stage is ahead.

Remember: an engineer's job at Telegram is 10 times more fun (and on average 10 times more profitable) than a job in a typical tech company. However, we hire only those who show consistent results in our contests. Best of luck!

P. S. Tomorrow we'll be selecting the winners of the iOS and JS contests. The prize budget will just keep increasing.
After hundreds of hours of testing, we are now ready to announce the winners of the iOS contest.

Overall, we received 148 apps for iOS, out of which about 38 made it to the shortlist and 15 will get awards.

While nobody managed to win the epic first prize at this stage, a 29 y.o. developer from London gets the second prize and will receive $10,000 from Telegram.

The winner preferred to hide his name. We will anonymize and publish his work soon. Well done, Mysterious Champion! Your app is almost flawless. If it had been running a bit smoother on iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 Plus, you’d have won a super-prize of $50K.

Four developers won the III prize ($3,000 each)

🥉 sroik - TestFlight

The order of the winners above reflects the time at which they submitted their apps to @jobs_bot.

Congratulations to the winners! 🎉

Additionally, we’d like to thank 25 individuals who almost made it to the list of winners:

@bernikovich, @azimin, @GlagolevS, @timaktimak, @AndreLami, @motyzhenkovmd, @t_paliienko, @shvul, @shkutkov, @yuriboorie, @bodro92, @ssanek212, @m_tishin, @mayor, @DaskiOFF, @Screon, @gibadu, @ilyassiraev, @bergusman, @omelics, @katleta3000, @zsergey, @odnoletkov + @specialforwork and @zaitsevyan

The apps of these developers had tiny, but critical issues. In most cases, we uploaded video demonstrations of the bugs we encountered. Links to such videos are included with the feedback every participant of the iOS contest will receive within an hour.

This feedback may be helpful for the preparation to the next stage, where participants will have to further improve the chart apps they created in Stage 1.

Stage 2 starts in two days. Before that, we’ll be announcing the JS contest winners. Stay tuned!
As promised, we’re publishing the second prize winner’s app. To run it on your device, you’ll have to sign MysteriousChampion.ipa with any valid certificate. We’re including an instruction with a script for that in the archive below.
