Developing Secure iOS Apps for Business

With the introduction of the iOS® platform, mobile devices exploded onto the personal computing market, in many cases replacing notebook and desktop computers—not only for personal use, but for business use as well. The iPhone® and iPad® are among the most popular of mobile devices in use today. In this course, you will learn how to develop and publish iOS apps, focusing on developing business apps for iPhones and iPads.

Objectives

In this course, you will develop, test, and package applications for devices that run the iOS operating system, including iPad and iPhone.

Use Xcode to create and run an iOS app.
Create storyboards to lay out the user interface for an iOS app.
Write Swift code to enable iOS app user interface elements to interact with users.
Identify and describe common iOS design patterns and user interface standards.
Lay out and program apps to provide navigation among multiple views.
Access data from various locations, including app resources, user preferences, private app storage, and web services.
Enable an app to present graphics and animation.
Enable an app to interact well with other apps, the iOS system, and the mobile device it runs on.
Debug an app, implement runtime error handling, and use iOS cybersecurity features.
Prepare an app for release, including configuration to support internationalization, and adding graphics to brand the app.

Prerequisites

To ensure your success, you should have experience developing applications using an object-oriented programming language such as Java™, C++, and so forth.

Target Student:

This course is intended for a programmer or web developer who is new to mobile app development in iOS. The student has experience using a computer running Mac® OS X and developing applications or websites using object-oriented programming languages and tools, but may not have experience using the languages and tools specific to the iOS development environment.

Course-specific Technical Requirements

Hardware

For this course, you will need one computer for each student and one for the instructor. Each computer will need the following minimum hardware configurations:

Intel-based Apple® computer running Mac® OS X version 10.11.3 or later
100 GB available hard disk space
Keyboard and mouse (or other pointing device)
1,024 x 768 or higher resolution monitor recommended
Internet access (contact your local network administrator)
Projection system to display the instructor's computer screen

The iOS Simulator will be used for development, so real iPhone®and iPad® devices are not necessary to deliver this course. However, if such devices are available, the instructor may find them beneficial to demonstrate how to debug on a real device.
