As an ios developer you can code in

XCode
Swift

Following are the common questions asked to an iOS Developer

1) Explain what is Xcode?

Xcode is Apples integrated development environment (IDE) that you use to


design apps for Apple products. It provides various tools to manage your entire
development workflow from creating your app, to testing, submitting and
optimizing it to the App store.

2) Explain what is struct?

A struct is a special C data type that encapsulates other pieces of data into a
single cohesive unit.

3) Explain how you can add frameworks in Xcode project?

To add frameworks in Xcode project

Choose the project file from the project navigator on the left side of
the project window
Choose the target where you want to add frameworks in the project
settings editor
Choose the Build Phases tab, and select the small triangle next to
Link Binary With Libraries to view all of the frameworks in your
application
To add frameworks click on + sign below the list of frameworks
To choose multiple frameworks, press and hold the command key
while choosing the framework

4) Mention what is the difference between bounds and frame?

Frame: The frame of a view is the rectangle, represented as a location


(X, Y) and size (width, height) corresponding to the superview it is
contained within
Bounds: The bounds of a view is the rectangle, represented as a
location (X, Y) and size (width, height) corresponding to its own
co-ordinate system (0,0)

5) Explain what is the difference between Xcode, Cocoa and Objective C?

Xcode: It is the integrated development environment (IDE) that


developer use to write software for IOS or OS X.

7) Mention what are the new features in Xcode 6?

In Xcode 6, new features include

Support for Swift: Xcode 6 explicitly supports the Swift code, it is very

existing frameworks.
Playgrounds: It enables the interactive experience of a scripting
language, like you can show variables in a graph, watch an animated
SpriteKit Scene or inspect each step when drawing a view. Once you
are done with code in the playground, you can move it into your
project
Command Line: You can use Swift syntax to interact and evaluate
with your running app or write new code in a script like environment
Performance Testing: The XCTest framework is extended to support
performance test, and is completely synchronized with Xcode and
Xcode Server. It also raises alerts for regression when test results
change
View Debugging: Xcode allows easy debugging and includes new
debugging tools like debug gauges to monitor I/O usage and enhance
iCloud gauge

8) Mention what is the use of PO command in Xcode?

PO command is useful during debug time. In normal scenario, to print the value
of a variable, you have to move the mouse pointer there and select print
description print value of it. With PO command, you can print value by just

group in Xcode either by

Deleting all the smart groups saved in an individual project


Or by deleting all the global smart groups available in the project

11) Explain how you can migrate to Xcode?

To migrate to Xcode you need to import your ProjectBuilderWO projects into


Xcode by following steps

Select file -> Import project -> Open the import project assistant
From the import project assistant, select the import projectBuilderWO
projects and tap on the next button
Choose the button to select the project document
Enter the name you want to use for the new Xcode project in the New
Project Name Field and click finish

To edit variables in Scope, you can use the command Cntrl+cmd+E.

15) Mention what are the build phases available in Xcode?

There are three build phases in Xcode that is available by default

Compile Sources
Link binary with libraries
Copy bundle resources

16) Explain how app delegate is declared by Xcode project templates?

templates.

17) Mention what are all instruments available in Xcode?

To trace and profile Mac OS X and iOS code an application is used referred as
Instruments. It allows you to track one or more than one processes and analyze
