Professional iOS App Development with Swift

Explore translating design to code for a quotes app, addressing layout, constraints, custom transitions, and Wikipedia API sourcing with face centering, circular images, and resizable text views across screens.

Develop a generic core data helper class with class functions to access the managed object context, insert entities like author or quote, and fetch results with predicates and sort descriptors.

Store 51 quotes with authors in a daily quotes plist with a root key and dictionaries, then load them randomly in the welcome view controller from the main bundle.

Define a selected random quote property, pick a random quote from a dictionary-based list, and display the author and quote in the welcome view as the view appears.

Create a custom UITextView subclass that computes its height from content using size that fits, then adds or updates a height constraint to render a resizable quote view.

Wire a navigation controller delegate to enable a custom view controller transition. Implement a star transition animator to move from the welcome screen to the overview after saving a quote.

Implement a custom transition between the welcome and overview view controllers by building a start transition animator that conforms to UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning, uses a 0.6 second duration, and fades and slides via a container view.

Create a custom cocoa touch class called image masquer to mask author images into a round shape using a mask image and a graphics context.

Validate input by ensuring the quote text is not empty and not equal to 'enter quote here', and update UI on the main thread to display quotes safely.

Transfer the selected quote from all quotes to the code view using the show quote segue, populate content, author, image, and creation date, and add dismiss and line spacing.

Learn to load a zip file at runtime, load a code search nib, show a search action, and animate the search menu into view using a springy constraint update.

Implement a swift search algorithm to hide and reveal the search menu, handle text field input with a case-insensitive predicate for quotes and authors, and animate ui updates.

Learn to implement swipe to delete in a table view using custom row actions, a destructive red delete button, and animated deletions updating the data source and Core Data.

Implement a share quotes feature using UIActivityViewController to share a quote string with the author's name through social apps, email, or messaging.
