iOS Development

The iOS app is a native Swift app that talks to the PHP web server as its API. The code lives in the ios/ folder of the main repository.

Guidelines

  • Use Xcode. Install it free from the Mac App Store (it’s a big download — start it early). Open the project by double-clicking ios/HackleyClubz/HackleyClubz.xcodeproj.
  • Run your changes in the Simulator. In Xcode, pick an iPhone from the device menu at the top and press the ▶ Run button. There is also a SETUP.md file in ios/HackleyClubz/ with project-specific setup notes — read it before your first build.
  • Test your changes before committing. Build the app, tap through the screens you touched, and make sure nothing is broken. Never commit code you haven’t seen working in the Simulator.
  • Same branch rules as the web app: work on dev, pull before you start, and never commit keys or other secrets.
