If I'm a mobile developer who wants to integrate bitcoin cash in an app, how can I generate Bitcoin Cash addresses programmatically, without relying on a 3rd party service, like Coinbase?

You can use the following library to generate bitcoin address using Swfit on IOS
https://github.com/onmyway133/AddressGenerator
Please note that the legacy bitcoin cash and bitcoin address is the same the only difference is the network.
if you're looking for cashAddr (qq address) format, take a look on these open source libraries:
https://github.com/bitcoincashjs/cashaddrjs (javascript) https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org/ https://github.com/schancel/cashaddr-converter
Original cashAddr algorithm (C++)
https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/blob/master/src/cashaddr.cpp
it's pretty easy to read and understand, you can translate it to any language.

Thanks for mention that, I've edited my question by adding more details. – Adam – 2018-05-27T22:48:40.280
You can use the exact same method used to generate Bitcoin addresses. There is one parameter to change, as far as I know, and that is the part of the "path" that identifies the type of cryptocurrency the address is for.
