Initial Setup

Make sure you've installed bundler on your mac.

$ cd Nexd
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec pod install
$ open Nexd.xcworkspace

Update REST client

Needs to be done when the backend deployed changes. Make sure openapi-generator is installed on your mac

From production backend

$ ./update_swagger_client.sh

From staging backend

$ ./update_swagger_client.sh https://api-staging.nexd.app/api/v1

Build & Run

• XCode scheme nexd (Debug): DEBUG build of the app, connects to staging backend
• XCode scheme nexd (Release): Releas build of the app, connects to production backend
• XCode scheme nexdScreenshots: a UI testing target which is used to automate screenshotting of the app, connects to a mocked backend which is controlled by the tests themselves

Architecture

Technologies

• API client generated from swagger with openapi-generator
• RxSwift & RxCocoa
• Cleanse for dependency injection
• R.swift for strongly typed access to resources:
  • Colors: in Collors.xcassets
  • Images: in Assets.xcassets
  • Fonts
  • Strings: maintained in POEditor
• SwiftUI: After the Hackathon I started to dive into SwiftUI and deicded to implement all new screens in SwiftUI (refer to eg. Transcribe*View.swift screens)
• fastlane and match for CI/CD automation
• Branche/Release model: Based on git flow:
  • we work with feature branches based on develop
  • features are merged via pull requests in github
  • releases are prepared in release branches (named something like release/*)
  • releae branches are merged into master and master will be deployed automatically to testflight

Creating screenshots

bundle exec fastlane create_screenshots

Screenshots can then be found in: fastlane/screenshots
