 Abstract

The iPhone has become a top selling smartphone since its launch in 2007 and
has along with its iOS (Apple's mobile operating system) overtaken many
popular and established mobile phone brands in the ratings. Some
competitors have not been able to provide a competing smartphone while
others have grouped together to withstand the Apple onslaught. There are
probably quite a few reasons why the iPhone has become such a success, and
one could likely write a report solely about those reasons. I will focus on one
of them in this study, maybe one of the most important reasons: the iPhone
came with a revolutionizing user interface. I have studied iOS applications
and their user interface components along with related research in order to
try and find out what exactly makes it so attractive and also to uncover any
flaws I might stumble across along the way. In order to answer this, and to
gain a better insight into the iOS, I have developed an iPhone application from
scratch covering all of the basic functionality usually found in any other
iPhone application. The results will show that most of it seems to relate with
Apple enforcing very strict rules and guidelines, along with limitations placed
on the developer and the process as a whole. This strict process ends with
Apple evaluators performing a review of the finished product, using their
guidelines as heuristics. These guidelines will be proven to have scientific
credibility, and the controlled development process will be a key to defining
the iOS success.

 2.0 INTRODUCTION TO INTERNSHIP

2.1 INTERNSHIP SUMMARY:

Within my study I have very passionate about iOS app development. It was a great
opportunity to do internship in iOS within well reputed IT company. It is well-known IT
company located in Ahmedabad. At the beginning of the Internship, I had set several
learning goals for improvement of my learning. During three month I learn about iOS app
development from very to mid – advance level. In this time, I have several tasks related to
R&D, Design and development of module of applications. In this duration I have achieved
many targets and milestones. In conclusion, the internship was a useful experience. I have
found out what my strengths and weaknesses are; I gained new knowledge and skills and
met many new people. I achieved many of my learning goals, however for some the
conditions did not permit to achieve them as I wanted.

2.2 OBJECTIVE:

The main objective of internship is to design and develop feasible, robust and clean – code
application for iPhone operating system. An additional objective is to learn about latest
technologies and framework used in iOS app development in current developing world.

2.3 PURPOSE:

The purpose of my internship is to gain experience in iOS app development, identify my

career goals, strengthen my resume and attain college credits

2.4 TECHNOLOGY AND LITERATURE REVIEW:

GTU 4 SETI
Project ID – 211154 Introduction to internship

Technology used in internship is iOS, Xcode and swift language.

iOS is Apple's mobile operating system developed originally for the iPhone, and later
deployed on the iPod Touch and iPad as well. It is derived from Mac OS X, with which it
shares the Darwin foundation, and is therefore a Unix-like operating system, by nature. In
iOS, there are four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media
layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer.

iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple
Inc. exclusively for its hardware. It is the operating system that presently powers many of
the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. It is the second
most popular mobile operating system globally after Android.

ChristianJ.D’Orazio said that, Mobile devices and apps such as cloud apps are a potential
attack vector in an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) incident, due to their capability to
store sensitive data (e.g. backup of private and personal data in digital repositories) and
access sensitive resources (e.g. compromising the device to access an organizational
network). These devices and apps are, thus, a rich source of digital evidence. It is vital to
be able to identify artifacts of forensic interest transmitted to/from and stored on the
devices. However, security mechanisms in mobile platforms and apps can complicate the
forensic acquisition of data. In this paper, we present techniques to circumvent security
mechanisms and facilitate collection of artifacts from cloud apps. We then demonstrate the
utility of the circumvention techniques using 18 popular iOS cloud apps as case studies.
Based on the findings, we present the first iOS cloud app security taxonomy that could be
used in the investigation of an APT incident.

iOS (formerly iPhone os) is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple
Inc. iOS is designed to be simple and easy to use, it does not include several features found
in a traditional operating system. Apple’s iOS provides more basic user interface than Mac
OS X, each new version adds more features.

2.5 INTERSHIP PLANNING:

2.5.1 INTERNSHIP APPROACH:

GTU 5 SETI

 3.0 IMPLEMENTATION

3.1 IMPLEMENTATION PLATFORM:

In the duration 3 months of internship on iOS application development we have

implement different task on iPhone operating system(iOS). We have developed
different application module for latest iOS devices like iPhone SE 2, iPhone 13 and
etc. We have use minimum version of iOS is 13 for development. For this we use
XCode 13 latest SDE for mobile development in iPhone. XCode is IDE provided
by apple for developing applications for the apple devices. We have apple
ecosystem environment developing application throughout the internship. For iOS
app there many frameworks for development like UIkit, SwiftUI, etc. We used
UIKit as our based framework which is based on swift and objective – c
programming languages. We used Swift as a base programming language. Swift is
a type safe native, object-oriented programming language for developing iOS
applications. We use MVC as well as MVVM architecture pattern. MVVM is a
preferable for large application.

3.2 PROCESS:

We followed the predefine process for developing an application by the company.

First, we get design from designers and then we build the flow of application and
get idea of how to work on flow with implementation. Then start working on
different modules like authentication, data model and logic of application. As large

GTU 7 SETI
Project ID – 211154 Implementation

the application we have modules to develop. We have to connect different module

with backend service with the help API fetching. We have created dynamic data
tables and module like image viewer and etc. We have working with user defaults
to save small amount of data in system. We have basic validation for check user
login with help of regex and alerts. We have created advance and complicated
design with help for third party libraries with the help of the Cocoa pods and SPM
(Swift Package Manager). We learn about to build custom views, navigations and
tab bars, etc. As well we use version control system git or version controlling and
project maintaining.

 4.0 CONCLUTION AND DISCUSSION

4.1 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP:

On the whole, this internship was a useful experience. We have learned ios
development from very basics. We have started learn first about iPhones, their
history, how they work and etc. After that we have learn about basics of swift
language which is backbone of iOS development.

After few days we got an overview of XCode and How it works. In starting
days, we build simple applications without UI. After that we learn How to use
Auto layout and constraints for managing UI component. We learn about
different UI Components like Label, button, Image view, navigation bar and
many more.

Then we practice Auto layout and get skills over it. After that we learn how
write clean code and manage it. We have work login screen using text field
and Different controls. We have implemented Image picker to pick an image
from gallery. After that we have get overview of table view and working on
it. In advanced in table view we learn many concepts and create Contact list
like table with Add, Edit, delete and Search functionality.

After that we learn about collection view and how to create different and
complicated layout from it. We learn about dynamic height collection view.

In Last few weeks we learn about API fetching, create complicated UI and
manage code structured using MVVM pattern, learn about how to use third
party libraries using Cocoa pods.

4.4 PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

We have faced many problems as part our internship. We have faces problem data fetching,
complex designs, dynamic data display, memory management, and layout design based on
different devices. We have done deep R&D for finding solution based on problems. It’s
taken different approach and required different time for problem.

4.5 LIMITATION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT:

As there is too much more to get knowledge which we not get in internship there are some
topics we need to go through. In our duration of internship on iOS app development we
have work on app to run on minimum version of ios 13 and more it’s a limitation so must
have upgraded iOS version of mobile. Besides we have developed application using UIKit
framework, in which we have design manually for different os like macOS, WatchOS, iOS,
tvOS, but in SwiftUI we have done only in one approach, so we will try to develop
applications using SwiftUI in future.
