Pedal

Pedal is an iOS app for cycling.

It's written entirely in Swift from the ground up.

The idea is to build a real world app in Swift, to better understand it's features and limitations.

About Swift

Here's some notes about the interesting or challenging stuff that I have found during development with Swift.

The Swift ecosystem is still in it's early stages despite of the exponential growth that it's experiencing, so there are still some caveats.

Dependency management

Dependency management looks in a pretty good shape now, with CocoaPods 0.36-pre supporting Swift.

Pods

There are a lot of third party libraries out there, but the majority of them is pretty immature yet as expected.

Testing

I have found some challenges with testing, OCMock does not fully support Swift, and it's not clear if it ever will. Quick looks like a nice BDD framework, but no mocking yet. Inner classes could help with manual mocking, but not always, and a good framework is much missed.
