Technical Details

Architecture

• Modern SwiftUI: Pure SwiftUI with Model-View (MV) architecture
• No ViewModels: Uses SwiftUI's native state management (@State, @Observable, @Environment)
• Swift Package Manager: Modular architecture with SPM packages
• Workspace Structure: Clean separation between app shell and feature code

Requirements

• iOS: 26.0 or later (with optional iOS 26.0 features)
• Xcode: 26.0 or later
• Swift: 6.1 or later
• Device: iPhone (optimized for all screen sizes)

Data Source

The app fetches real-time data from the official Killed by Google project repository, ensuring you always have the latest information about Google's discontinued products.

Key Architecture Points

Workspace + SPM Structure

• App Shell: KilledByGoogle/ contains minimal app lifecycle code
• Feature Code: KilledByGooglePackage/Sources/KilledByGoogleFeature/ is where most development happens
• Separation: Business logic lives in the SPM package, app target just imports and displays it

Buildable Folders (Xcode 16)

• Files added to the filesystem automatically appear in Xcode
• No need to manually add files to project targets
• Reduces project file conflicts in teams

Development Notes

Code Organization

Most development happens in KilledByGooglePackage/Sources/KilledByGoogleFeature/ - organize your code as you prefer.

Public API Requirements

Types exposed to the app target need public access:

public struct NewView: View {
    public init() {}
    
    public var body: some View {
        // Your view code
    }
}

Remember to mark types as public when they need to be accessed by the app target.

Testing

Run tests using:

• Unit Tests: ⌘+U in Xcode or swift test in the package directory
• UI Tests: Select the UI test scheme and run

Tests use the modern Swift Testing framework with @Test attributes and #expect assertions.
