I recently interviewed with a company that needed a C/C++ programmer to work on the iOS side of the products. The job description indicated they needed someone with 4 years of Objective-C and iOS programming and I was surprised that they wanted to interview me.
Prior to this coding challenge I have never worked in Xcode, or programmed in iOS, Objective-C or swift. I am an absolute beginner in these areas. I still don't think I know these programming environments but I am learning.
Environment
- OSX - El Capitan
- Xcode - Version 8.2 (8C38) // Swift 3
- Running in the iPhone 7 simulator
- Late 2010 17 inch MacBook Pro
The following section is the extraction of the email the hiring manager sent me:
Programming Challenge:
Create a static library or iOS Framework using Objective-C that performs the following 3 functions:
- Collects the GPS location (latitude and longitude) of the user at a point in time
- Collects the battery state and returns whether or not the device is plugged in and what percentage of life is left
- Accesses any publicly available, free API to collect the data of your choice and returns it (this should be a network call)
Build a simple application with 3 buttons and a label where text can be displayed. Each button should call into the three functions of the library described above and output the response to the label. Your application should consist of two tabs, one written in Objective-C and one written in Swift. Both tabs should call into the same Objective-C library and perform the same function.
Only use Apple frameworks to complete this task. Fully comment your code explaining your logic and choices where multiple choices are available. For example, Apple provides numerous ways to retrieve a network resource, document why you choose the solution you did.
This question has been divided into 2 parts based on the size of the code to be reviewed. One part contains the Objective-C static library and the other part contains the simple application. This question contains the Application written in Objective-C and Swift the static library can be found at this Question.
The source code and project files for both questions can be found at this GitHub repository in case you are interested in building it and running it.
This application was built in 3 pieces. First, the Objective-C application was written as a stand alone project, then the Swift application was written as a stand alone project and finally the tab bar was added to the Objective-C stand alone project and the Swift file was merged into the project. Story Boards and Interface Builder were not used in this project.
The application took approximately 40 hours to create. 12 hours in build the first app in Objective-C and integrate the static library. 12 hours to build the swift version of the application and integrate the library. 16 hours to add the tab bar and merge the swift and objective-c portions of the program.
Only the code I wrote is included in the question, the main.m file and the portions of AppDelegate.m that I did not code are excluded.
What I desire from a review:
Since this is the first time I've programmed for iOS in both Objective-C and Swift I'd like to know:
- Are there any memory leaks?
- What iOS, Objective-C or Swift programming conventions have I missed or used incorrectly?
- What are the obvious things that I should know that I don't?
- What error checking should I have included that I didn't?
- How could I have written this with less code?
