Using a ios-icon-launch-generator.sh thanks to smallmuou/ios-icon-generator, it's a script to generate iOS/macOS/watchOS app icons more easier. I've added
Launch Images, and a more customizable way to generate Landscape launch images for iPhone/iPad. -
FontAwesome. Font Awesome Free is free, open source, and GPL friendly. You can use it for commercial projects, open source projects, or really almost whatever you want.

JFCore Some interesting Core elements to reuse in my own projects in iOS / macOS / tvOS / watchOS: CoreDataManager, Location Manager and others.
Alamofire Alamofire is an HTTP networking library written in Swift.
Groot Groot provides a simple way of serializing Core Data object graphs from or into JSON.
AlamofireCoreData A nice Alamofire serializer that convert JSON into NSManagedObject instances. Using a fork for now until tvOS is fully supported https://github.com/southfox/AlamofireCoreData
AlamofireImage AlamofireImage is an image component library for Alamofire
SwiftSpinner SwiftSpinner is an extra beautiful activity indicator with plain and bold style fitting iOS 8 design very well. It uses dynamic blur and translucency to overlay the current screen contents and display an activity indicator with text (or the so called “spinner”).
- Clone repository `git clone https://github.com/southfox/radioaws.git
- Enter inside the folder of the project
cd ios - Install pods
pod install - Open workspace
open LDLARadio.xcworkspace - Clean and build project with Xcode.
- The Rails server with Suggestions.
- Radio Time: it's the RestAPI used by TuneIn
- Radio Nacional Argentina
- Cocoapod integration in the project
CocoaPods is the popular dependency manager for Cocoa projects. 2 alternatives: Carthage and the Swift Package Manager. CocoaPods makes managing dependencies easy and transparent.
It's hard configuring Podfile dependencies for a modular project structure When it comes to a mixed project, having% of Swift and rest Objective-C code, CocoaPods forces all dependencies to be dynamic frameworks, even though more than a half of them are written in Objective-C. With more than 50 dynamic frameworks, our app’s startup time became very slow due to slow dynamic library loading during app startup.
Another issue was our slow build time. The root cause came via including a pods’ source code into the workspace, which often forces recompilation of the same files that very rarely change.
Probably will be good a manual approach. As it turns out, that just with a few simple scripts that support the most common tasks for dependency management. Namely, downloading source code, compiling it into a static library or dynamic framework and integrating those products into our project. The rest of the work is done via Xcode build configuration files.

Using Swift 5 + Storyboards + Asset Catalog
-
MVC & MVVM: Separated Logics and avoid Massive View Controller
-
Completion/Closure Parameters – Implement any asynchronous task with a “completion” parameter
-
CocoaPods: CocoaPods is built with Ruby and is installable with the default Ruby available on macOS.
-
Recycling: github/fork for any needed change in a pod that is not available for tvOS but could be customized
-
Minimalism: use the SDK. Keeping and use only the features the code actually needs.

Core Data is an object graph and persistence framework provided by Apple in the macOS and iOS operating systems. It was introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and iOS with iPhone SDK 3.0. It allows data organized by the relational entity–attribute model to be serialized into XML, binary, or SQLite stores. In this aplication the persistence is done using SQLite.
-
Unit tests: automatically exercise the features of your application and check the results, like JSON parsing and test asynchronous calls for REST API using expectation.
-
Singleton for RestAPI and model & network management.

Observers: KVO and Notifications

Protocols: a very powerful feature of the Swift programming language. Protocols are used to define a “blueprint of methods, properties, and other requirements that suit a particular task or piece of functionality.”
-
Extensions add new functionality to an existing class, structure, enumeration, or protocol type. This includes the ability to extend types for which you do not have access to the original source code (known as retroactive modeling). Extensions are similar to categories in Objective-C. (Unlike Objective-C categories, Swift extensions do not have names.). Extensions in Swift can: add computed instance properties and computed type properties, define instance methods and type methods, provide new initializers, define subscripts, define and use new nested types, make an existing type conform to a protocol.

Grand Central Dispatch or GCD is a low-level API for managing concurrent operations. It will make your application smooth and more responsive. Also helps for improving application performance. Sometimes we are trying to perform multiple tasks at the same time that time most of the developer-facing application hang or freezing issue this is the common issue. That’s why we are using GCD to manage multiple tasks at the same time.
-
Why not using NSOperationQueue instead of DispatchQueue in the threading solution? NSOperationQueue uses regular background threads which have a little more overhead than GCD dispatch queues. On the other hand, NSOperationQueue gives you a lot more control over how your operations are executed. You can define dependencies between individual operations for example, which isn't possible with plain GCD queues. GCD is a low-level C API that enables developers to execute tasks concurrently. Operation queues, on the other hand, are high level abstraction of the queue model, and is built on top of GCD. Operation queues are instances of class NSOperationQueue and its tasks are encapsulated in instances of NSOperation.
