Async News iOS APP 📰⚡️

Asynchronous News Fetching with Swift Concurrency

The NewsApp is an iOS project built using SwiftUI and Swift Concurrency (Async/Await, GCD). Originally a course challenge, this project was taken a step further by fully implementing async data fetching, making API calls more efficient, and improving overall responsiveness. The app fetches news from different sources and displays the latest articles in a clean SwiftUI interface.

Project Overview

This project focuses on modern concurrency techniques in Swift, replacing traditional completion handlers with async/await for a more structured and readable approach. The app communicates with the NewsAPI.org service to fetch real-time news updates.

⚠️ Note: To run this project, replace YOURAPIKEY in Constants.swift with your own API key from NewsAPI.org.

Learning Outcomes

  • Swift Concurrency: Implemented async/await to manage API calls efficiently.
  • Grand Central Dispatch (GCD): Used DispatchQueue.main.async to update the UI correctly.
  • MVVM Architecture: Applied MVVM principles to separate business logic from UI.
  • SwiftUI Best Practices: Built a clean and scalable UI using SwiftUI.
