SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps teams choose and implement scalable iOS/macOS app architectures, improving testability, maintainability, and collaboration across platforms like iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture selection guidance for MV, MVVM, and TCA tailored to project scope, team size, and delivery timelines.
  • Practical patterns for Dependency Injection, Coordinator, and Repository to improve modularity and testability in SwiftUI apps.
  • Decision framework for refactoring, architecture evolution, and consistent code organization across Apple platforms.

Quick Start

Describe your project scope and I will recommend a suitable architecture pattern and sample implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema
What's the best way to choose a scalable iOS app architecture for SwiftUI?

The best way to choose a scalable iOS app architecture is by evaluating project scope, team size, and delivery timelines to select between MV, MVVM, and TCA patterns for your SwiftUI application.

How do I implement the Coordinator pattern for navigation in a SwiftUI app?

Implement the Coordinator pattern in SwiftUI to standardize navigation and data flow across modules, which improves modularity and testability when separating navigation logic from view rendering.

MVVM vs TCA: which iOS architecture pattern should I pick?

Choose MVVM for simpler data binding or TCA for complex state management, applying the decision framework to match your project scope and standardize code organization across Apple platforms.

When do I need to use the Repository pattern in iOS development?

You need the Repository pattern in iOS development when refactoring for testability and standardizing data flow, abstracting data sources to improve modularity and consistent code organization.

Can I refactor an existing iOS app to improve testability using these architecture patterns?

Yes, you can refactor existing iOS apps to improve testability using a decision framework for architecture evolution, applying MVVM, TCA, and Repository patterns to standardize code organization.
