## Design Pattern Check [this](https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/swift) website for design pattern in Swift ## Adaptor Adapter pattern is a structural design pattern that is useful for composing classes and objects into a larger system. ```swift protocol Target { func request() } class Adaptee { func specificRequest() {} } class Adapter: Target { let adaptee: Adaptee init(adaptee: Adaptee) { self.adaptee = adaptee } func request() { adaptee.specificRequest() } } ``` - [β€˜Adapter’ Pattern in Swift](https://levelup.gitconnected.com/adapter-pattern-in-swift-b6403cfa0a78) - [Swift adapter design pattern](https://theswiftdev.com/swift-adapter-design-pattern/) - [Adapter in Swift](https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/adapter/swift/example) ## Coordinator - [Leverage the Coordinator Design Pattern in Swift 5](https://betterprogramming.pub/leverage-the-coordinator-design-pattern-in-swift-5-cd5bb9e78e12) ## Delegation Delegation is a design pattern that enables a class to hand off (or β€œdelegate”) some of its responsibilities to an instance of another class. ### Example Create a protocol ```swift protocol SomeProtocol: AnyObject { func reload() } ``` Create a delegate ```swift weak var delegate: SomeProtocol? ``` You can check the code using delegation pattern [here](https://github.com/jphong1111/Unsplash_Clone/blob/main/Unsplah_Clone/Module/MainMenu/AccountScreenModule/ViewModel/AccountViewModel.swift#L35) - [Delegation in Swift Swift by Sundell](https://www.swiftbysundell.com/articles/delegation-in-swift/) - [Delegation in Swift Explained](https://learnappmaking.com/delegation-swift-how-to/) - [Delegation Pattern in Swift 5.1](https://medium.com/@nimjea/delegation-pattern-in-swift-4-2-f6aca61f4bf5) ## Dependency Injection Dependency injection is a pattern that can be used to eliminate the need for singletons in a project 1. Raise Transparency 2. Improve Testability ### Type of Dependency Injection **1. initializer injection** ``` swift class DataManager { private let serializer: Serializer init(serializer: Serializer) { self.serializer = serializer } } ``` **2. property injection** ```swift import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { var requestManager: RequestManager? } ``` **3. method injection** ```swift import Foundation class DataManager { func serializeRequest(request: Request, withSerializer serializer: Serializer) -> Data? { ... } } ``` [Nuts and Bolts of Dependency Injection in Swift](https://cocoacasts.com/nuts-and-bolts-of-dependency-injection-in-swift) ## Factory Factory method is a creational design pattern which solves the problem of creating product objects without specifying their concrete classes. - [Factory Method in Swift](https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/factory-method/swift/example) - [The Factory Pattern using Swift](https://stevenpcurtis.medium.com/the-factory-pattern-using-swift-b534ae9f983f) ## Observer Observer is a behavioral design pattern that allows some objects to notify other objects about changes in their state. - Observer - An object that wishes to be notified when the state of another object changes. - Subject (Observable) - An object that maintains a list of observers, and inform them of state changes usually by calling one of their methods. An observable slightly differs in this in that it is just a function that sets up an observation. - Subscribe - An observer lets a subject know that it wants to be informed of changes through a process called subscribing. Check following sites - [swiftbysundell](https://www.swiftbysundell.com/articles/observers-in-swift-part-1/) TBD ### KVO KVO stands for Key Value Observing - [Apple Developer Site](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/cocoa_design_patterns/using_key-value_observing_in_swift) - [KVO (Key Value Observing) in Swift](https://medium.com/@abhishek1nacc/kvo-key-value-observing-in-swift-65d05ac2d240) ### KVC [KVO vs KVC](https://medium.com/hackernoon/kvo-kvc-in-swift-12f77300c387) We are using KVC in Storyboard!

Simple goes to Product-Build Documentation and DocC will open - [Swift DocC Apple Github](https://github.com/apple/swift-docc) - [DocC Tutorial for Swift : Getting Started](https://www.kodeco.com/34919511-docc-tutorial-for-swift-getting-started) ## Code Structuring(Architecture) πŸ“šπŸ“š Recommend Book πŸ“šπŸ“š | Book Name | Authors Name | | :----------- | :----------- | | Advanced iOS App Architecture : Real-world app architecture in Swift | raywenderlich Tutorial Team | | Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design | Robert Martin | ## Clean Architecture [Clean Architecture](https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html) ## MVC MVC pattern stands for Model - View - Controller - Model - Model take care of storing data. - View - View renders the data for users - Controller - Controller modifies the View, accepts user input and interacts directly with the Model. And take care of view logic and business logic. ## MVP ## MVVM MVVM patterns stand for Model - View - ViewModel ### MVC vs MVVM - Model – Which holds the application data - View – It displays the data that is stored in model. These are visual elements through which a user interacts. These are subclasses of UIView - View Model – Transform model information/data and it interacts with controller or view to display those informations. - Controller class – It will be there but the responsibility of view business logic has been removed and give to view model > You can check App example of using MVVM [here](https://github.com/jphong1111/Unsplash_Clone) ## VIPER - View - Displays what it is told to by the Presenter and relays user input back to the Presenter. - Interactor - Contains the business logic as specified by a use case. - Presenter - contains view logic for preparing content for display (as received from the Interactor) and for reacting to user inputs (by requesting new data from the Interactor). - Entity - contains basic model objects used by the Interactor. - Routing - contains navigation logic for describing which screens are shown in which order. [Getting Started with the VIPER Architecture Pattern](https://www.raywenderlich.com/8440907-getting-started-with-the-viper-architecture-pattern) # The Composable Architecture The Composable Architecture is a library for building applications in a consistent and understandable way, with composition, testing, and ergonomics in mind - [Composable Architecture @ Point Free](https://www.pointfree.co/collections/composable-architecture) - [The Composable Architecture GitHub](https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture) - [The Composable Architecture β€” One of the Best-Suited Architectures for SwiftUI](https://medium.com/swlh/the-composable-architecture-one-of-the-best-suited-architectures-for-swiftui-35bfc5102b83) ```swift // example will update here ``` ## Reducer A reducer describes how to evolve the current state of an application to the next state, given an action, and describes what Effects should be executed later by the store, if any. - [Reducer in TCA](https://pointfreeco.github.io/swift-composable-architecture/Reducer/)

## Network Layer - [Network Layer](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/tree/main/Helper/Network%20Layer) ### Usage First, set the base URL in **EndPointType file** > Don't forget to put your API key in it! ```swift var baseURL: URL { guard let url = URL(string: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/") else { fatalError("baseURL could not be configured.") } return url } ``` then make a instance of router.swift file in your code ```swift private let router = Router() ``` for **YourAPI part**, simply create a new **enum** with cases about specific api URL > It will make your router more dynamic! > Don't forget extension to EndPointType! ```swift enum YourAPI { case first(country: String) case second(time: Int) case third(name: String) } extension YourAPI: EndPointType { var path: String { switch self { case .first(let country): return "\(country).json" case .second(let time): return "\(time).json" case .third(let name): return "\(name).json" } } } ``` then, use it like this ```swift router.request(.first(country: London)) { [weak self] (results: Result) in guard let self = self else { return } switch results { case .success(let data): // insert your modifications! case .failure(let error): // insert your modifications! print(error) } } ``` > **CountryWeather should be a model with Decodable** If you want to see how can I use Network Layer in Project, check [this](https://github.com/jphong1111/Unsplash_Clone/tree/main/Unsplah_Clone/ReusableComponent/NetworkLayer) This reusable network layer files for referenced from [here](https://medium.com/flawless-app-stories/writing-network-layer-in-swift-protocol-oriented-approach-4fa40ef1f908) > Also [Alamofire](https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire) will be a great option for Network Layer! ## Image Picker - [Image Picker](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/blob/main/Helper/ImagePickerHandler/ImagePicker.swift) ### Usage Copy and Paste in your project and then declare Image Picker object inside your project ```swift lazy var imagePicker = ImagePicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self) ``` Then, extend ImagePickerDelegate to your viewController ```swift extension ViewController: ImagePickerDelegate { func didSelect(image: UIImage?) { self.yourImageView.image = image self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil) } } ``` Good To GO πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ > See Example [here](https://github.com/jphong1111/ImageMessageHandler_DemoApp) ## File Manager - [File Manager](https://github.com/jphong1111/awesome-ios-developer/blob/main/Helper/FileManageHandler/FileManager.swift) ### Usage Copy and Paste in your project ```swift let readData = FileManageHelper.manager.readFile(filename: fileNameTextField.text ?? "", type: extensionTextField.text ?? "") resultTextField.text = readData ``` > File Manager are wrote with singleton pattern, therefore no need to declare in side your code! Good To GO πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ ## Video Downloader - [Video Downloader](https://github.com/jphong1111/awesome-ios-developer/blob/main/Helper/VideoDownloadHandler/VideoDownloadManager.swift) ## Usage Make an object of VideoManager inside your code ```swift let videoManager = VideoManager() ``` use downloadVideoLinkAndCreateAsset function to start download with entering URL ```swift self.videoManager.downloadVideoLinkAndCreateAsset(text) ``` Good To GO πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ ## Image Downloader There is no file for Image Downloader. To download images into device, only thing is this ```swift if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: urls), let image = UIImage(data: data) { UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nilil) } ``` Just **change urls into your image URL** > UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum will take care it to download to device. > For more info go [here](https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/media/uiimagewritetosavedphotosalbum-how-to-write-to-the-ios-photo-album) Good To GO πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ ## Location Manager - ~~[Location Manager](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/tree/main/Helper/LocationHandler/LocationManager.swift)~~ Currently Working

## JSON JSON is a language-independent data format > Which is relative with **KEY - VALUE** pair ```json { "main": [ { "title": "example1", "body": "body1" }, { "title": "example2", "body: "body2" } ] } ``` ### JSON parser extension for Chrome This extension makes JSON more structable [JSON parser pro](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-viewer-pro/eifflpmocdbdmepbjaopkkhbfmdgijcc) **FREE** :+1: ## JSONDecoder To use JSONDecoder in swift, you have to define the model to be Codable or Decodable ```swift public typealias Codable = Decodable & Encodable ``` > Decodable can only decode the json data. Can't encoded json file!! ```swift struct User: Codable { var firstName: String var lastName: String var country: String enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case firstName = "first_name" case lastName = "last_name" case country } } ``` > To avoid snake_case in swift, use CodingKeys or JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy To use JSONDecoding, declare JSONDecoder and use decode() function ```swift do { let data = try JSONDecoder().decode(T.self, from: unwrappedData) completionOnMain(.success(data)) } catch { print(error) completionOnMain(.failure(.parseError)) } ``` T.self -> Model(Struct) of the data that you want to decode > data will decoded to form of T unwrappedData -> Input actual data from file or server > This should be a Data Type!! ## JSONSerialization JSONSerialization is a old way of decode the JSON file. > Apple populated Codable since Swift 4 ### Example Example of number.json data ```json { "number": [ { "name": "Dennis", "number": "111-222-3333" }, { "name": "Jenny", "number": "444-555-6666" }, { "name": "Ben", "number": "777-888-9999" } ] } ``` Here is a example of JSONSerialization with actaul JSON file in project folder > Otherwise you can use URL! ```swift private func populateDataFromJson() { if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "NumberData", ofType: "json") { do { let dataJson = try Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: path)) let jsonDict = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: dataJson, options: .mutableContainers) if let jsonResults = jsonDict as? [String: Any], let results = jsonResults["number"] as? [[String: Any]] { results.forEach { dict in // simply appended to list(array) self.phoneNumberList.append(PhoneNumber(name: dict["name"] as? String ?? "", number: (dict["number"] as? String ?? ""))) self.phoneNumberListClone.append(PhoneNumber(name: dict["name"] as? String ?? "", number: (dict["number"] as? String ?? ""))) } } } catch { print(error.localizedDescription) } } } ``` > .mutableContainers allows to working like a array and dictionary type ### JSON Parser Library This library provide JSON parsing - [SwifyJSON](https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON)

## UserDefaults The UserDefaults class provides a programmatic interface for interacting with the defaults system. Check [Apple Document](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/userdefaults) for more info > UserDefaults has to have **key-value** pair ### When do we use UserDafaults - User information, like name, email address, age, occupation - App settings, like user interface language, app color theme or β€œdetailed vs. simple UI” - Flags, more on this later - If store data is small ## How to find documentDirectory Put this line of code inside of your project ```swift func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { print(NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).last ?? "") return true } ``` simply move into that path and you can find the documentDirectory of your Application > if Library is not shown up, just do **Shift + Command + .** to show hidden files in your folder ## Usage As you can see in the below, intArray will stored inside the device through UserDefaults(), so that if device is shut down, changed value wil be stored in device. ```swift class ViewController: UIViewController { var intArray = [1,2,3,4,5] let defaults = UserDefaults() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() intArray = defaults.array(forKey: "IntArray") as! [Int] } @IBOutlet weak var textField: UILabel! @IBAction private func isClicked(_ sender: UIButton) { intArray.append(6) defaults.set(intArray, forKey: "IntArray") textField.text = "\(intArray)" } } ``` You can your plist file like this! Declare Userdefault like this! ```swift let defaults = UserDefaults.standard ``` > **standard** allows to access from anywhere inside device **With using set function, you can set userdefaults** **Also these function will allow to get a data from plist** ## Store Object [Store Object](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29986957/save-custom-objects-into-nsuserdefaults) **You are GOOD TO GO** πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

# Core Data [Everything Core Data](https://metova.com/everything-core-data/) Use Core Data to save your application’s permanent data for offline use, to cache temporary data, and to add undo functionality to your app on a single device. **Core Data in Swift is using SQLite as DEFAULT** > Image From London App Brewery πŸ“šπŸ“š Recommend Book πŸ“šπŸ“š | Book Name | Authors Name | | :----------- | :----------- | | Core Data by Tutorials: iOS 12 and Swift 4.2 Edition | raywenderlich Tutorial Team | ## Core Data Stack - [The Core Data Stack](https://www.raywenderlich.com/books/core-data-by-tutorials/v7.0/chapters/3-the-core-data-stack) - **NSManagedObject** - This is a base class of all the core data model object. This provides the schema of our database table. This is used to store model data in our application. KVO and KVC compliant. It can notify any changes that are done on its properties if any object is listening. - **NSManagedObjectContext** - Most important class. This is the place where you do all the computations. You can think this as a scratch pad where you do all the operations realated to core data (CRUD). It's an object which you can use to manipulate and track any changes done to manage object. All the changes done on a context object will be held until and unless you are discarding or writing those changes permaneently to persistntent storage. - **NSPersistentStoreCoordinator** - The main functionality is to provide a communication between context and persistent store. - NSPersistentStore - They are the stores in which the data are being saved. These includes SQLite, In-Memory, Binary, XML(the XML store is not available on iOS). - NSPersistentContainer - This contains the whole core data stacks. ## Set Up Core Data Simply Click Core Data check box when you create a new project If you want to attach Core Data in exsiting project Create **Data Model** file first Then import CoreData inside your **AppDelegate.swift** file ```swift import CoreData ``` And Copy and Paste this lines of code inside your **AppDelegate.swift** file ```swift // MARK: - Core Data stack lazy var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = { /* The persistent container for the application. This implementation creates and returns a container, having loaded the store for the application to it.

You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development. let nserror = error as NSError fatalError("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)") } } } ``` Don't forget to change it ```swift let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Your DataModel file name") ``` And goto **SceneDelegate.swift** file, copy below lines of code and replace yours ```swift func sceneDidEnterBackground(_ scene: UIScene) { // Called as the scene transitions from the foreground to the background. // Use this method to save data, release shared resources, and store enough scene-specific state information // to restore the scene back to its current state. // Save changes in the application's managed object context when the application transitions to the background. (UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate)?.saveContext() } ``` If your target is **below iOS13**, put this line of code in side your **applicationWillTerminate** of **AppDelegate.swift** file ```swift self.saveContext() ``` ## Core Data Usage Once you create your DataModel file, you can simply create a **Entity(Class)** and **Attributes(Properties)** And then, change the type of attributes in inspector like this Once you create your own Entities & Attributes, go to Inspector and change Module to **CurrentProductModule** > If you didn't set it, thats fine, but if you are working in big project, then you need to set it. Otherwise this can occurs some error. ## Codegen As you can see in above, there are three options - Manual/None - Swift didn't generate CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties files so that you have to create yourself **(full control)** - Class Definition - Swift will generate CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties files. **(No control)** - Category/Extension - Swift will generate only Extension file **(Some Control)** CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties are located in below > /Users/dennis/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice-hisefjfyuvglrjekndpftwazftug/Build/Intermediates.noindex/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice.build/DerivedSources/CoreDataGenerated/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice And CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties are looking like this, > If your code can run it but didn't get your Entities, **Rebuild it or Restart your Xcode** **The reason that files divided into two files is that one for writing Business Logic, one for Properties** ## Entities An entity represents a table in your database. It is the blueprint for the NSManagedObject subclass instances that you will create and use throughout your application. ## Attributes Attributes are properties of your object. They translate to a column in your database table and a property in your managed object. You can choose from a variety of primitive values that the database has to offer such as a string, integer, or date. ## Relationships A relationship describes how one entity relates to another. Two important aspects of this are the cardinality and the deletion rule ### Cardinality - **One-to-many** - Lets say that each Department has a group of Employees that can only work for a single Department. This would be a β€œone-to-many” relationship since each Department could have many Employees and each Employee can only work for one Department. - **Many-to-many** - If a single Employee could work for multiple Departments, then our Department/Employee relationship would be β€œmany-to-many” because each Department could have many Employees and each Employee could work for multiple Departments. ### Delete Rules [Core Data Relationships and Delete Rules](https://cocoacasts.com/core-data-relationships-and-delete-rules) - **No Action** - Do nothing to the object at the destination of the relationship. For example, if you delete a department, leave all the employees as they are, even if they still believe they belong to that department. - **Nullify (Default)** - Set the inverse relationship for objects at the destination to null. For example, if you delete a department, set the department for all the current members to null. This only makes sense if the department relationship for an employee is optional, or if you ensure that you set a new department for each of the employees before the next save operation. - **Cascade** - Delete the objects at the destination of the relationship. For example, if you delete a department, fire all the employees in that department at the same time. - **Deny** - If there is at least one object at the relationship destination, then the source object cannot be deleted. For example, if you want to remove a department, you must ensure that all the employees in that department are first transferred elsewhere (or fired!) otherwise the department cannot be deleted. ## Store Data Declare context as a global variable ```swift let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext ``` > Get viewContext that we defined in AppDelegate.swift file Simply you can use this code to save your data to CoreData ```swift func saveItem() { do { try context.save() } catch { print("Error Saving Context: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } ``` > Use it wherever you want Data can be find if you print the path ```swift print(FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)) ``` > You can check Entities, Properties inside that file ## Load Data Refer this code and apply it to your code wherever you want to reload it ```swift func loadItem() { let request: NSFetchRequest = Item.fetchRequest() do { itemArray = try context.fetch(request) } catch { print("Load Item Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } ``` > Item will be your Entity, itemArray will be your Entity object > Don't forget to import **CoreData** ## Update Data Simply use setValue function so that you can update your value in DB ```swift itemArray[0].setValue(<#T##value: Any?##Any?#>, forKey: <#T##String#>) ``` > if you are using TableView or CollectionView, change 0 to indexPath.row ## Delete Data Simply use delete function in context ```swift context.delete(itemArray[0]) ``` > change number for dynamic! **You are GOOD TO GO** πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

## Accessibility Accessibility is all about making the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad work for as wide a range of people as possible. That can include the very young, the very old, people brand new to computers and mobile devices, and also people with disabilities and special needs. - Designing your app for accessibility makes it easier to write functional tests, whether you’re using the UI Testing in Xcode. - You’ll also broaden your market and user base by making your app usable by a larger group. - Implementing accessibility in your app shows you’re willing to go the extra mile for every user, and that’s a good thing. - [iOS Accessibility: Getting Started](https://www.raywenderlich.com/6827616-ios-accessibility-getting-started) ## Accessibility Usage To use accessibility, you have to enable this > For most UIKit classes, **the default is true, but for UILabel it’s false** ```swift label.isAccessibilityElement = true ``` - accessibilityLabel - short description of control e.g. "Save" for button, "Rating" for label - accessibilityHint - helps the user to understand result of the action e.g "Save the documents" - accessibilityTraits - collection of constants that describe the type of control and/or hot it should be treated - accessibilityValue - Used to describe the value of a none-label UI component e.g. "50%" for progress bar

In BDD, tests are more user-focused and based on the system’s behavior. **Behavior Driven Development** - Encouraging collaboration across roles to build shared understanding of the problem to be solved - Working in rapid, small iterations to increase feedback and the flow of value - Producing system documentation that is automatically checked against the system’s behaviour ## Three Steps(Iterative) in BDD First, take a small upcoming change to the system – a User Story – and talk about concrete examples of the new functionality to explore, discover and agree on the details of what’s expected to be done. Next, document those examples in a way that can be automated, and check for agreement. Finally, implement the behaviour described by each documented example, starting with an automated test to guide the development of the code. - [Behaviour-Driven Development](https://cucumber.io/docs/bdd/) - [What is BDD?

A browser attempts to connect with a website which is secured with a SSL. The browser then requests the web server to identify itself. 2. Web server then sends the browser its SSL certificate copy. 3. The browser checks if the SSL certificate must be trusted. If it can be, a message is sent to the web server. 4. Web server then sends back an acknowledgement to begin the SSL encrypted session. 5. The encrypted data is then finally shared between the browser and web server. ## SSL pinning methods - Pin the certificate – you can download the server’s certificate and bundle them in the app. At the runtime, the app compares the server certificate to ones that you have embedded. - Pin the public key – you can retrieve the public key of certificate in the code as string. At the runtime, the application compared the certificate’s public key to one which is hard-coded in the code. ## Using URLSession ```swift func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: @escaping (URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Void) { if (challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod == NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust) { if let serverTrust = challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust { var secresult = SecTrustResultType.invalid let status = SecTrustEvaluate(serverTrust, &secresult) if (errSecSuccess == status) { if let serverCertificate = SecTrustGetCertificateAtIndex(serverTrust, 0) { let serverCertificateData = SecCertificateCopyData(serverCertificate) let data = CFDataGetBytePtr(serverCertificateData); let size = CFDataGetLength(serverCertificateData); let cert1 = NSData(bytes: data, length: size) let file_der = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "name-of-cert-file", ofType: "cer") if let file = file_der { if let cert2 = NSData(contentsOfFile: file) { if cert1.isEqual(to: cert2 as Data) { completionHandler(URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition.useCredential, URLCredential(trust:serverTrust)) return } } } } } } } // Pinning failed completionHandler(URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil) } ``` ## Using Alamofire 5 If you are using above version, this code should be changed [More Info](https://devgenes.com/posts/SSL-Pinning-With-Alamofire/) First, Download SSL certificate to your project folder > https://www.yourdomain.com (NOT IN THIS WAY) ```bash openssl s_client -showcerts -connect yourdomain.com:443 < /dev/null | openssl x509 -outform DER > yourdomain.cer ``` Make a SessionManager to get SSL Pinning ```swift let sessionManager: SessionManager = { let serverTrustPolicies: [String: ServerTrustPolicy] = ["yourdomain.com": .pinCertificates(certificates: ServerTrustPolicy.certificates(), validateCertificateChain: true, validateHost: true)] return SessionManager(serverTrustPolicyManager: ServerTrustPolicyManager(policies: serverTrustPolicies)) }() ``` request from sessionManager, if it is invalid, print error ```swift sessionManager.request("https://yourdomain.com").responseString { (dataResponse) in switch dataResponse.result { case .failure(let err): print(err) case .success(let val): print(val) if let headerFields = dataResponse.response?.allHeaderFields { print(headerFields) } } } ``` ### Relative Stuff TrustKit makes it easy to deploy SSL public key pinning [TrustKit](https://github.com/datatheorem/TrustKit) ## Code Obfuscation Code obfuscation is the act of deliberately obscuring source code, making it very difficult for humans to understand, and making it useless to hackers who may have ulterior motives. ## Cryptography [Introducing Swift Crypto](https://swift.org/blog/crypto/) ## Biometric Access Apple made a big change when it released the iPhone X: It ditched Touch ID fingerprint security for a new face-based biometric sign-on tool called Face ID. The fingerprint scanner on most post-iPhone X Apple products is gone, and in its place is a new camera array capable of capturing a face map that is, according to Apple, 20 times less likely to be hacked than a Touch ID fingerprint. [Apple's Face ID: Cheat sheet](https://www.techrepublic.com/article/apples-face-id-everything-iphone-x-users-need-to-know/) ## Face ID & Touch ID To use Face ID, Add **Privacy - Face ID Usage Description** into your info.plist file in your project import LocalAuthentication, which can allow you to implement Biometric Access ```swift import LocalAuthentication ``` After that, using LAContext() we can implement Face ID Here are simple example that how Face ID can impelement ```swift @IBAction private func isTouched(_ sender: UIButton!) { let context = LAContext() var error: NSError? = nil if context.canEvaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, error: &error) { let reason = "touch id" context.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics, localizedReason: reason) { [weak self](success, error) in DispatchQueue.main.async { guard success, error == nil else { // If Fail let alert = UIAlertController(title: "FAceID Fail", message: "error", preferredStyle: .alert) let action = UIAlertAction(title: "cancle", style: .cancel, handler: nil) alert.addAction(action) self?.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil) return } // If success let vc = UIViewController() vc.title = "hi" vc.view.backgroundColor = .blue self?.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) } } } else { // If device is not supporting Face ID } } ``` > Error Handling is your own part **You are GOOD TO GO** πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

## Objective-C Still we need to study Objective-C for legacy code which is still remain in our project! Here are some useful website that you can study about simple concept of Obj-C!! [Learn Objective-C in 24 Days](https://www.binpress.com/learn-objective-c-24-days/) πŸ“šπŸ“š Recommend Book πŸ“šπŸ“š | Book Name | Authors Name | | :----------- | :----------- | | Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide | Aaron Hillegass, Mikey Ward | ### Pure Swift Application? Can we really say "Our application is built with pure Swift"?. NO! Lots of Objective-C codes are running in the background to built swift. Here is a example that you can try **Simply create a pure swift application and use this lines in debug console!!** ```swift break set -r "-\[.*\]" break set -r DebugMode break set -r Emoji ``` Use one of above line when you want to find out how many Objective-C codes are consist in simple pure swift application!!
