Appstore iOS 11

So I was following Brian Voong’s Appstore videos on letsbuildthatapp.com and I decided to turn things up a notch… and this came about. Found the designs on dribble! I guess there’s just a whole lot of dope stuff online… Basically a rough draft of the appstore freebie by Felix Lebedinzew (http://felix-lebedinzew.com/), The app store data is from apptweak.io , they have an awesome API… I mean there’s everything in their JSON responses. I learnt (the hard way) quite a lot about navigation controllers and how they work with the navigation bar, tab bars etc.

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/aliumujib/AppStoreiOS11
• open AppStoreiOS11/AppStoreiOS11.xcworkspace
• go to https://apptweak.io
• Register and obtain an API key.
• Paste the API in the API_KEY constant in Constants.swift
• open terminal cd to the directory and run pod install
• open Xcode COMMAND + R

Technology Stack

• Apptweak.io
• UIKit

Used libraries

• LBTAComponents - library by letsbuildthatapp.com for easy UICollectionViewController management and view layouts amongst other things…
• Kingfisher - Popular image loader …we all know this guy
• Alamofire - For handling network requests
• ReadMoreTextView - For showing collapsible text
• AZSearchView - Nice searchview controller…

To do

• 1. Split a lot of the files, some long .swift files exist in this project
• 2. Read up on writing better animations
• 3. Better error handling
