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.

• 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)

1. Setup the project:

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

2. Open Application.xcodeproj

• 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.
