I create applications from scratch and use them as portfolio material. For instance I have a custom iOS app that shows my experience working with video, images, audio, shaders, face detection, HLS, networking, etc. I show this to them when we meet and if they want to see the code I'll invite them to my git repo and we can go over it together.

Well for those you can fall back on your references and high-level descriptions of your work. I have quite a few projects that are private/enterprise applications that will never see the light of day outside of their domain. Unfortunately I have to describe these and rely on references. It's the only way I can legally do it.
