Install cocoa pods and add libraries via pods to bring networking and progress tools to your project, using terminal commands and opening the project with Xcode.

Learn how to manage large files with git and .gitignore, resolve 100 MB limits by ignoring bulky assets such as Google Maps data, then stage, commit, and push to GitHub.

Create a centralized networking file using Alamofire to handle get and post requests with the json placeholder API. Use closures to return an array of user data (name, username, email).

Learn how to test static api services with postman, perform get requests with optional parameters and headers, handle json responses via closures, and manage collections for backend testing.

Learn how to handle a JSON response in Swift by defining a codable model, decoding arrays and optional fields, and integrating with a model-view-controller workflow using QuickType-generated types.

Parse response data into the employee details view controller by populating full name, username, email, and company, handle optional fields, and wire website and directions actions while refining the UI.

Learn to integrate a web view and Google Maps directions in a Swift iOS app, configure navigation, and fetch employee details via a post API with closures.

Create your iOS app icon by preparing a 1536×1536 icon image in photoshop or an online tool, upload it to appicon.com, and integrate the generated icon into the project.

Learn to upload and distribute iOS builds via TestFlight, including archiving, signing with an enterprise account, and sharing with external tester groups through App Store Connect.

Create a global ProgressHUD utility in Swift by extending view controllers with a shared ProgressHUD instance in dark style, and show or dismiss during loading.

Learn how to implement push notifications from Firebase on iOS, enabling user authorization, configuring notification center and messaging delegates, and testing on real devices. Note enterprise account requirements.
