The document outlines a session led by Amr Elghadban on developing iOS applications, focusing on coding standards, clean code practices, and making network requests. It includes practical examples of using NSURLSession for downloading data and images, along with implementing UIImagePickerController to access the photo gallery. The session also addresses potential issues, such as the simulator's limitations when accessing the camera.

CLEAN CODE GUIDE
Making Network Requests
UIImagePickerController

4. CLEAN CODE - Structure
1.Does the code conform to any pertinent coding
standards?
2. Is the code well-structured, consistent in style, and
consistently formatted?
3.Are there any uncalled or unneeded procedures or
any unreachable code?
4.Are there any blocks of repeated code that could be
condensed into a single procedure?
5.Is storage use efficient?

5. CLEAN CODE - Documentation
1. Is the code clearly and adequately documented with
an easy-to-maintain commenting style?
2. Are all comments consistent with the code?

6. CLEAN CODE - Variables
1.Are all variables properly defined with meaningful,
consistent, and clear names?
2.Do all assigned variables have proper type
consistency or casting?
3.Are there any redundant or unused variables?

7. CLEAN CODE - Loops and Branches
1. Are all loops, branches, and logic constructs
complete, correct, and properly nested?
2.Are the most common cases tested first in IF-
-ELSEIF chains?
3.Are all cases covered in an IF- -ELSEIF or CASE
block, including ELSE or DEFAULT clauses?
4.Does every case statement have a default?

8. network requests ConT..
// step 1
NSString *dataUrl = @"YOUR_DATA_URL";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:dataUrl];
// step 2
NSURLSessionDataTask *downloadTask = [[NSURLSession sharedSession]
dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse
*response, NSError *error) {
// step 4: Handle response here
}];
// step 3
[downloadTask resume];

9. Image Download

UIImage *downloadedImage = [UIImage imageWithData:
[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:location]];
}];

[downloadPhotoTask resume];

10. UIImagePickerController
Open up ViewController.m
We’ll implement a UIButton method to make it open the photo
gallery.
To do so, we create a new instance of
UIImagePickerController and set it’s sourceType to either
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum or
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary or
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera “later topic / need
real drive to be tested”
The difference is that the PhotosAlbum will take you directly to
the album for the pictures taken with the camera (the Camera
Roll) while PhotoLibrary will take you to the albums list (of which
Camera Roll is one of the albums if the device has a camera).

11. - (IBAction)tappedUseCamera:(id)sender {
UIImagePickerController *picker =
[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.sourceType =
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:picker
animated:YES completion:nil];
}

12. If you try to run the app right now in the simulator, it’s
going to crash when you tap the button.
The reason this happens is that the camera isn’t
available on the simulator.
We can prevent the crash by checking to see if the
camera is an available source type before using it by
calling the UIImagePickerController’s
isSourceTypeAvailable method like this:
if ([UIImagePickerController
isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSour
ceTypeCamera])

13. we need to add the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate’s
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo method:
-(void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image = [info
objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
[self.imageView setImage:image];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

14. The first thing we’ll do is pull the
UIImagePickerControllerOriginImage property out of
the NSDictionary that is sent into the method.
This property is of the type UIImage which is what
we can then use to set our imageView’s image
property using setImage.
Lastly, we have to call
dismissViewControllerAnimated on the view
controller. If we don’t do this, the preview won’t go
away and our app won’t return (even though it
returned on it’s own when we didn’t implement the
method).
