iOS & Mobile Development¶

Reference knowledge base for iOS and Android mobile app development. Covers Swift language, SwiftUI framework, persistence (SwiftData + Core Data), networking, animations, MapKit, StoreKit, and Android development with Kotlin.

Swift Language¶

• swift fundamentals - Variables, types, functions, arrays, control flow, extensions
• swift structs and classes - Value vs reference types, protocols, methods, computed properties
• swift enums and optionals - Enums with raw values, optionals, switch, pattern matching

SwiftUI Framework¶

• swiftui views and modifiers - Views, layout containers, modifier chaining, images, buttons, GeometryReader
• swiftui state and data flow - @State, @Binding, @Observable, @Environment, @FocusState, onChange
• swiftui navigation - NavigationStack, NavigationLink, sheets, TabView, toolbar, searchable
• swiftui lists and grids - List, ForEach, LazyVGrid, ScrollView, sort/filter/search patterns
• swiftui forms and input - TextField, TextEditor, DatePicker, Slider, Form, create/edit patterns
• swiftui animations - withAnimation, transitions, matchedGeometryEffect, @Namespace, looping

Data & Networking¶

• swiftui networking - async/await, URLSession, JSONDecoder, Codable, AsyncImage, fetch services
• swiftdata persistence - @Model, @Query, modelContainer, CRUD operations (iOS 17+)
• core data persistence - NSManagedObject, @FetchRequest, NSPredicate, PersistenceController

Apple Frameworks¶

• mapkit integration - Map view, annotations, MapCamera, satellite/standard toggle
