iOS Application Development: Creating Adaptive Apps from Skillsoft

Online, Self-Paced

Displaying content in flexible ways and adapting to different devices, orientations, gestures, and motions are important considerations when developing an iOS app. This course begins by covering how to work with storyboards to develop multiview applications. It goes on to describe how to handle rotation and view orientations. The course covers how to respond to touch events and detect swipes and taps. It describes how to work with the core Location API and how to use MapKit to map users' movements. It also covers implementation of the core Motion framework to handle motion events, data, and shakes.

Learning Objectives

Working with Storyboards

start the course
implement storyboard scenes and segues for an iOS application
create different types of segues including 3D touch segues in an iOS project
add supporting subclasses for scenes in an iOS project
pass objects between scenes in iOS applications
dismiss scenes and use unwind segues to transition between view controllers
refactor storyboards in iOS projects

Table Views and Collections

create a table view with a data source in an iOS app
implement grouping and indexing in iOS table views
implement a search bar in an iOS table view
enable edit mode in an iOS table view
change the order of a table views rows along with the underlying data structure
customize table views and table view cells in iOS applications
display content in a collection view in an iOS app

Multi-View and Stacked View Apps

generate a multi-view app as a tabbed app
use navigation controllers to navigate multi-view apps
implement a multi-view app as a master/detail app
use UIStackView to stack subviews in iOS 9

View Orientations and Rotations

handle rotation in an iOS application

Touch and Gestures

use touch events in an iOS application
detect swipes in an iOS application
detect one or more taps in an iOS application
detect pinch in an iOS application

Using the Core Location API

use the core Location API Location Manager in an iOS application
use the core Location API Location Manager delegate in an iOS application
use MapKit to map users' movements in an iOS application

Working with Motion

use the UIDevice class to receive updates related to device orientation iOS applications
become a first responder that can receive shake motion events in iOS apps
use the CoreMotion framework to get motion data in an iOS app
