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.
