APPLICATION DESIGN AND FUNCTIONALITY

• Home or ‘section front’ of app is a complex UITableView consisting of over 15 UITableViewCell xibs all implemented with a combination of code, AutoLayout and Storyboards

• iPad version reuses many of the same views but only uses UICollectionViewCells to house UITableViews with custom xibs

• Google DFP Ads in the home view load asynchronously using UITableView prefetching delegate methods so the ads are always current prior to being displayed on screen

• The main feed and navigation feed is cached on success and used as backup in the event that the network is unavailable

• Users have the ability to save articles and photo galleries for later viewing and can be read offline

• Implemented generic networking protocol system that is used app-wide for a singular responsibility that doesn’t use singletons.

• Updated networking and json parsing to Swift 4 Codable protocol to improve efficiency and create a more streamlined architecture

• Developed a login system for a single user that interacts with a REST login API for validations and also provides subscription information that is later used with the paywall API.

• The Paywall is a complex web-side as well as locally written API that is used in various places across the entire app.

• Using UserDefaults, CoreData and Keychain to store users’ unique client ID, password and subscription status determines how many articles and photo galleries can be viewed.

• Designed a custom photo gallery viewer with UIPageViewController that inserts Google DFP custom native ads only if they are being served. Images are cached locally before they are needed for fast loading of images.

• Designed app architecture using MVVM as well as POP patterns for consistent reusability and ease when adding additional functionality

• Implemented push notifications using AWS SNS and APNS.
