Recipe App

A write-up of a recipe app I created for iOS in Swift and UIKit

Summary

This was an app I created as part of my iOS App Development Certificate at RMIT.

One of the requirements was to use a remote JSON API, so I chose the one at themealdb.com. Unfortunately the recipes there are a bit hit and miss, and not really usable for a professional app.

The app is fully story-boarded and uses Swift's in-built JSON decoding.

Design

There were multiple iterations to the design phase.

The design document includes wire-frames, a persona, and a vision statement.

There was also a paper-prototyping session. You can read the analysis of that.
