Tunely

Description

A basic iOS app written in Swift that displays tracks from the iTunes API. There are two tabs. The first shows a list of tracks. Clicking on a track presents a detail view showing more information about the track. The second shows a grid of album covers. No detail view is provided for albums.

Prerequisites

• Nuke (Image Loading System)

The prerequisite(s) are installed using Swift Package Manager instead of Cocoapods. Upon the first build, SPM should download the dependencies automatically.

Installation

• Clone/Download the app to your Mac
• Check that you have the latest build of XCode installed.

Choosing your own Tracks

Use the iTunes Api to receive tracks (songs) and albums to display in a list and grid layout

Example request: Get a limit of 200 songs by Jack Johnson:

https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=jack_johnson&country=US&media=music&limit=200

Students can replace the term with their favorite artist:

https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=<insert_artist>&country=US&media=music&limit=200

Save the file with the ".json" extension and place inside Resources/iTunes_API_Responses.

Notes for Technical Writers

Strech goals for students

• Album detail view when tapping a album cell. Currently, there is no action when tapping a cell since there is only a track detail view.
  • checkout this commit for first steps to do this.
  • create a second navigation controller
  • reconfigure network call in SceneDelegate file
  • create a second detail view specific for albums
• Implement functionality to play tracks
  • Response includes a trackViewUrl and previewUrl which point to a iTunes preview and mp4 file respectively
• Provide link to iTunes page of the track and/or album
