Combine
The Combine framework is Apple's native way to write
functional reactive code in Swift. This chapter provides questions and answers on Combine and on functional reactive programming concepts in general.
Server Communication
Server communication is part of almost every iOS
application. This chapter provides questions and answers on general computer networking concepts and on specific iOS networking topics.
Concurrency
This chapter focuses on Swift's concurrency model
with async/await. It also provides questions and answers on more low-level technologies like Grand Central Dispatch and Operations. Since they were used in iOS applications before async/await, knowledge around these technologies may be required for an iOS position.
Persisting Data
Persisting pieces of data is required in many
applications. Apple offers solutions to store data for different scenarios. This chapter contains questions and answers on persistence technologies and frameworks such as File System, UserDefaults, SwiftData and Core Data.
Security
Many applications need to manage some kind of
sensitive user data. To ensure a high level of security Apple provides different technologies to be used by developers. This chapter provides questions and answers on specific security-related iOS technologies such as keychain or shared web credentials, as well as general cryptography concepts.
Automated Testing
Testing is an important part in every software
development process. Apple offers tools to write unit, UI and performance tests for iOS applications. This chapter provides questions and answers on general testing concepts and specific iOS testing tools.
Architecture & Design Patterns
Architectural principles and design patterns are the
foundation of robust, maintainable, and scalable iOS applications. This chapter explores key architectural concepts and widely used design patterns in iOS development, providing practical examples and insights into their strengths and weaknesses.
Machine Learning
Machine learning becomes an increasingly important
part of software development and engineering jobs. Machine learning techniques are used to build models that can learn patterns in data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. These models are used in a variety of applications, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing and recommendation systems. This chapter provides questions and answers on general machine learning concepts and on how to integrate machine learning into an iOS application.
Working with Legacy Code: UIKit
With SwiftUI pushing UIKit into the background since
2019, UIKit may still be part of existing iOS applications. A deep knowledge of UIKit may be required for an iOS position. This chapter provides questions and answers around key aspects of UIKit.
Working with Legacy Code: Objective-C
Objective-C is becoming more and more obsolete after
Swift was released in 2014. However, with existing apps written in Objective-C still out there, knowledge on Objective-C may be required for an iOS position. This chapter provides questions and answers on Objective-C basics and the interoperability between Swift and Objective-C.
