A modern social media iOS application that demonstrates user authentication, post listing, and user profile management using Swift and UIKit.
- User authentication (login and guest mode)
- Post listing with user information
- User profile view with albums and photos
- Modern UI with smooth animations
- Comprehensive unit tests
- Coordinator pattern for navigation
- MVVM architecture
- iOS 18.0+
- Xcode 16.0+
- Swift 5.9+
- Open
iOSChallenge.xcodeproj
in Xcode - Select your target device (simulator or physical device)
- Press
⌘R
to build and run the application
The application follows MVVM architecture with Coordinator pattern for navigation. Here's a high-level overview of the main components and their interactions:
