Weather iOS Application

This project focuses on expanding my iOS development skills with various essential concepts and features, building on the foundation I’ve been creating. Here is a breakdown of the key topics I covered and implemented in this app.

Features and Concepts Learned

1. Dark Mode Support

  • Implemented full support for dark mode, ensuring the UI adjusts dynamically to match the system appearance settings.

2. Vector Images

  • Used vector images as assets for improved resolution and scalability across various device sizes.

3. UITextField

  • Utilized UITextField to capture user input and process the data efficiently.

4. Delegate Pattern

  • Applied the delegate pattern to establish communication between different classes and manage the input handling efficiently.

5. Protocols and Extensions

  • Leveraged Swift protocols and extensions to promote code reusability and maintainability.

6. Guard Keyword

  • Used the guard keyword for early exit conditions, enhancing code readability and safety.

7. Computed Properties

  • Defined computed properties to calculate values dynamically and improve the app's performance.

8. Closures and Completion Handlers

  • Integrated closures and completion handlers for better asynchronous code execution, especially for network requests.

9. URLSession

  • Utilized URLSession to make HTTP requests, fetch data from APIs, and manage network tasks.

10. JSON Parsing

  • Parsed JSON responses using Swift's native Encodable and Decodable protocols, making the data handling process smooth and efficient.

11. Grand Central Dispatch (GCD)

  • Employed Grand Central Dispatch to manage background tasks and ensure UI updates are executed on the main thread.

12. Core Location

  • Used Core Location to retrieve the device's current location, leveraging GPS data for location-based features.

Getting Started

To run the project, clone the repository and open it in Xcode. Ensure your development environment is set up for iOS development.

Requirements

  • Xcode 15 or later
  • iOS 16.0 or higher

Installation

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Open the project in Xcode.
  3. Build and run on a simulator or physical device.

Usage

  • Dark Mode: The app adapts to the system’s light or dark appearance settings.
  • User Input: Type information using text fields, with input handling via the delegate pattern.
  • Networking: Fetch data from web services and parse it into usable models.
  • Location Services: Grant permissions to access GPS data for relevant features.

Technologies Used

  • UIKit
  • Core Location
  • Grand Central Dispatch (GCD)
  • URLSession for networking
  • Encodable and Decodable protocols for JSON parsing

Future Improvements

  • Additional features leveraging advanced Swift and iOS capabilities.
  • Optimization and enhancements based on user feedback.
