In 2014 / 2015 I was digging through the code of the iOS Facebook app and found that it was loading, by string name, a dylib. I think it was a system dylib for networking, or sound, or something. It seemed like the wrong way to access a system service.

That seemed unnecessarily sneaky and made me appreciate the sense of righteousness which I would have, if I were a SW dev @ FB at the time, to add such a technique to a world-tier app like FB.
