Study Notes
UI Management
- One instance of the app's UI is managed by a scene, which includes one or more windows displayed from that scene.
- The object responsible for managing the life cycle of one instance of the app's user interface is the view controller.
- Content is stored in view objects, which are specific to each app.
Scene Management
- If an app supports scenes, the UIWindowScene delivers separate life-cycle events for each scene.
- The UIApplicationMain function delivers all life-cycle events to the UIApplicationDelegate object in iOS 12 and earlier, and in apps that do not support scenes.
App Startup
- During the app startup process, the UIApplicationMain function creates a shared application instance and sets up the app's UI.
- The UIWindowScene delegate is responsible for handling the initial routing of incoming user events in an iOS app.
UIWindow
- A UIWindow is responsible for creating additional windows in an iOS app as needed.
- UIWindow is responsible for managing the presentation of an app's content on screen.
UIApplication
- UIApplication is the shared application instance in an iOS app and manages shared behaviors.
- The UIApplicationMain function is called during the app launch process to create the app's UI.
App Metadata
- The Info.plist file contains metadata about the app in iOS and is used by the system to interact with the app.
- Every app must declare the hardware capabilities or features that it requires to run in the Info.plist file.
App Launch
- When an iOS app is launched, the system displays a temporary screen, known as the launch screen, until the app can show its user interface.
Model-View-Controller (MVC) Architecture
- Controller objects are responsible for encapsulating the data specific to an application and defining the logic and computation that manipulate and process that data.
- View objects learn about changes in model data through the controller objects.
- Controller objects act as an intermediate between the model and view components.
- The model is responsible for describing the main logic of the application and deciding from where the data should be fetched.
- The view is responsible for presenting the data in a user-friendly format.
- The controller is responsible for updating the screen after a user action.
Model-View-Presenter (MVP) Architecture
- The presentation layer decides how to present the data in the MVP architecture.
- MVP differs from MVC in that the presenter acts as an intermediate between the model and view components.
- The model is responsible for encapsulating the data specific to an application and defining the logic and computation that manipulate and process that data.
- The view is responsible for presenting the data in a user-friendly format.
- The presenter is responsible for fetching data from the model and presenting it to the view.
Benefits of MVC/MVP Architecture
- The application is easier to maintain and extend over time when following the MVC/MVP architecture.
- Models and Views are reusable in MVC/MVP architecture.
- The controller/presenter acts as a middle layer between the View and Model layers, making it easier to change the UI or business logic without affecting the other layers.
