iOS

Basic

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple, used in devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch. Swift is the official programming language for iOS development. Swift is a powerful and intuitive, open-source, general-purpose programming language with strong type inference and safety features, designed to work seamlessly with Apple’s frameworks and platforms.

iOS is Apple’s mobile OS, primarily developed using Swift and Xcode. This level assesses understanding of Swift fundamentals, UI layout, view controllers, and user interactions.

Key Competencies:

  1. Swift Fundamentals – Core syntax, data types, control flow, optionals, and object-oriented basics in Swift.

  2. Xcode & Project Structure – Navigating Xcode, using Interface Builder or SwiftUI previews, understanding targets and files.

  3. UIKit & Layouts – Creating UI with UIKit components; using Auto Layout for responsive design across devices.

  4. View Controllers & Lifecycle – Managing views, navigation (modals, navigation stack), and lifecycle methods.

  5. User Interaction – Handling inputs with IBOutlets/IBActions, gesture recognizers, and target-action or delegate patterns.
