Introduction to iOS Development

  • What is iOS and why it is a leading mobile operating system.
  • Setting up Xcode and understanding the iOS development environment.
  • Introduction to Swift programming language and Swift Playgrounds.
  • Creating and running your first iOS app.

User Interface (UI) Design for iOS

  • Layouts: Designing with UIKit, SwiftUI, and AutoLayout.
  • Views: Working with various UI components like Labels, Buttons, and Table Views.
  • Navigation: Implementing navigation controllers and tab bar controllers for seamless user experience.
  • Material Design: Implementing Apple’s design principles (Human Interface Guidelines) for intuitive UI.

iOS App Architecture and Lifecycle

  • View Controllers: Understanding the role of view controllers in managing app UI.
  • App Lifecycle: Managing app states (foreground, background, etc.).
  • State Preservation: Using techniques to preserve app state and data across app launches.
  • Navigation: Managing transitions and navigation flow in iOS apps.

Working with Data in iOS

  • Core Data: Understanding Core Data for managing app data models and persistence.
  • SQLite: Using SQLite for local storage in iOS apps.
  • Networking: Making network requests and handling JSON responses using URLSession.
  • File Management: Storing and retrieving files locally using iOS file system.

Networking and APIs

  • HTTP Requests: Making network requests and handling RESTful APIs.
  • JSON Parsing: Working with JSON data and parsing it into model objects.
  • Asynchronous Programming: Using GCD (Grand Central Dispatch) and Swift’s async/await for background tasks.
  • Third-party Libraries: Integrating popular libraries like Alamofire and CocoaPods for easier networking.

iOS App Security

  • App Security: Securing sensitive data with encryption and Keychain storage.
  • Authentication: Implementing secure user authentication using Face ID, Touch ID, and OAuth.
  • Data Protection: Best practices for ensuring app data privacy and integrity.

Testing iOS Applications

  • Unit Testing: Writing unit tests for your app’s logic using XCTest framework.
  • UI Testing: Automating UI tests with XCUITest to validate UI components.
  • Mocking: Using frameworks like Cuckoo or Mockito for mocking in unit tests.
  • Test-Driven Development (TDD): Writing tests before implementation to ensure quality code.

iOS Performance Optimization

  • Memory Management: Efficient memory usage and understanding Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).
  • App Performance: Profiling app performance using Xcode’s Instruments tool.
  • Battery Optimization: Best practices for minimizing battery usage in your app.

Publishing iOS Apps to the App Store

  • App Store Guidelines: Understanding the guidelines and requirements for submitting apps to the App Store.
  • App Store Connect: Setting up your developer account and managing app submissions.
  • Monetization: Implementing in-app purchases and ads (AdMob, etc.) for monetization.
  • App Analytics: Using Firebase Analytics and Xcode’s built-in tools to track app performance.
