AdvancediOS

AdvancediOS demonstrates some advanced concepts for iOS application development using a small example application.

Advanced concepts include:

A unique application architecture that takes inspiration from MVVM, FRP, Coordinator Pattern, Factory Pattern, Dependency Injection, and Protocol Oriented Programming
XcodeGen for generating an Xcode project
Type safe code generation for assets, plists, and localized string references using SwiftGen
Linting with SwiftLint
Basic localization
Continuous Integration with CircleCI and Fastlane
BDD style unit testing
Dynamic UI theming
Programmatic UI
A custom logging framework that leverages XCGLogger
Using internal frameworks for more modular code
Carthage for iOS dependency management with caching support using Rome
Version pinning of as many tooling dependencies as possible using Mint and Bundler.

This project is mostly intended to be used as a playground to experiment with new tools, libraries, and design patterns for iOS development.

Setup

Ruby installation matching the version found in .ruby-version (use rbenv to switch versions)
Homebrew
Bundler
Xcode installation matching version found in .xcode-version (use xcode-install to switch versions)

$ brew bundle && bundle install
$ bundle exec fastlane bootstrap

Run $ bundle exec fastlane for a list of Fastlane lanes that can be run on the repository.
Application.xcodeproj should be used for general development for building a release build.
Application_Dev.xcworkspace is only useful when debugging issues in Carthage dependencies since the Carthage dependency's project is added instead of using the pre-built framework.
