The goal of this class is to build a video Q&A app modeled after the Whale iOS App. We will focus on building only a subset of features of the Whale app, with a focus on netwoking, architecture and a bit of fun with video with AVFoundation.
- Leverage advanced Swift features to architect your app
- Build common app features like networking, authentication, pagination
Students should be able to:
- Use AVFoundation to play, record and save videos & photos
- Build an iOS app from an API specification

Key features:
- Download JSON, Images and Video and display them
- Work with AVFoundation to play, edit and save video and images
- Manage and use multiple dependencies in your project
- Add pagination for a seamless user experience
- Use multiple persistence technologies(Keychain, UserDefaults, CoreData) to save user data
-
- Project completion/ wrap-up
To pass the course, students will have:
