NewsApp

NewsApp is an iOS app built with UIKit + MVVM + Coordinator pattern to browse news using the NewsAPI service.

Features

Tab-based experience with 3 modules:

• Home (Everything): keyword search across all articles, voice input search, and sort by relevancy/popularity/published date.
• Heading (Top Headlines): top headlines with category filtering and quick access to in-app language/country filters.
• Source: browse news providers by category/country/language and jump directly to the Home tab pre-filtered by source.
• Pagination support for article/source listing.
• In-app Safari reader for opening articles and source websites.
• Persistent language/country preferences using UserDefaults.

Architecture

• Coordinators: navigation wiring for each tab (EverythingCoordinator, TopHeadingCoordinator, SourceCoordinator).
• ViewModel: API orchestration and UI state.
• SupportingFiles/NetworkManager.swift: generic async networking layer using Alamofire.
• Model: decodable response models for articles and sources.

Setup

1. Create NewsApp/NewsApp/configuration.xcconfig.
2. Copy values from NewsApp/NewsApp/configuration_example.xcconfig.
3. Set your NewsAPI key in API_KEY.
4. Build and run from Xcode.

Example configuration.xcconfig:

TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL_TYPE = https:
BASE_URL = newsapi.org
API_KEY = <YOUR_NEWSAPI_KEY>

Settings.bundle

The project includes a system Settings app entry at:

• NewsApp/Settings.bundle/Root.plist
• NewsApp/Settings.bundle/About.plist

What it contains

• Root.plist: a root group with an About child pane. About.plist exposes read-only title/value rows for:
• App Name (about.app_name)
• App Version (about.app_version)
• Powered By (about.apiEndpoint)
• Showing News of region (country)

How values are updated

• In AppDelegate, values for about.app_name, about.app_version, and about.apiEndpoint are populated at launch from app bundle/configuration values.
• country maps to the same UserDefaults key used by the in-app settings panel (SettingPageController + UserDefaultsData.country), so the selected region is reflected in Settings.bundle.
