iOS Swift 🔒 Unlisted App

TimeARK

A workforce management iOS app for attendance tracking, clock in/out, leave requests, and HR services. I was working at ICTechnology Pty Ltd and contributed to TimeARK as an iOS Engineer.

⚠️ Unlisted iOS App — Not searchable on the App Store. TimeARK iOS is distributed via a private Apple Unlisted App link, following Apple's B2B enterprise distribution model. Employees receive the install link directly from their organisation.

Tech Stack

Technologies and frameworks used to build the iOS client.

🎨
UI & Presentation

Built entirely with SwiftUI, using declarative, state-driven UI components. All development and profiling done in Xcode.

SwiftUI Xcode
🏛️
Architecture

Structured with MVVM on top of Clean Architecture, keeping Presentation, Domain, and Data layers cleanly separated and independently testable.

Networking

All API communication handled via Moya, providing a type-safe, enum-based abstraction over the network layer with clearly defined endpoint targets.

Moya REST API
Concurrency & Reactivity

Combine for reactive data flow between ViewModels and views. async/await for structured concurrency in network requests and async operations.

Combine async / await
📍
Location Services — CoreLocation

Used CoreLocation to validate employee clock-in location against geofenced worksites — ensuring attendance is recorded only from authorised premises.

Push Notifications

Integrated Push Notifications via APNs to alert employees of shift reminders, leave status updates, and HR announcements in real time.

Testing — TDD & Unit Tests

Test-Driven Development (TDD) was the primary development approach. Unit tests written using XCTest, concentrated on the Data Layer (Repository and Data Source implementations) and ViewModels — achieving near 100% coverage on these layers. The layered architecture keeps each unit independently testable.

Structure

Architecture Layers

Clean Architecture principles — but streamlined. No dedicated Use Case layer; instead the Repository acts as the business logic boundary, keeping the architecture simple without sacrificing separation of concerns.

Presentation Layer

SwiftUI Views & ViewModels. Observes state from the Repository, handles UI events. No business logic.

Repository Layer

Repository Protocol defines the contract. Local and Remote Repository concrete types implement it, delegating to their respective Data Sources.

Data Source Layer

Concrete implementations — Moya-backed remote API calls and local storage. Maps DTOs to domain models. Near 100% unit test coverage with XCTest.

My Role

I was working at ICTechnology Pty Ltd as an iOS Engineer on the TimeARK project — responsible for building the native iOS client from the ground up. Key contributions included implementing the clock in/out flow, integrating CoreLocation for geofenced attendance validation, wiring the Moya networking layer, setting up Combine-based reactive state in ViewModels, integrating Push Notifications, and writing unit tests following TDD with XCTest — focused on Repository, Data Source, and ViewModel layers.

Distribution

The iOS app is published as an Unlisted App on the Apple App Store — not discoverable through search or browse, accessible only via a direct private link provided by the client organisation. This follows Apple's approved B2B distribution model.

AI-Assisted Development

Built with an AI Coding Agent

TimeARK was developed with hands-on use of an AI coding agent throughout the process — not just for boilerplate, but as a genuine development companion.

Data Layer
Repository and Data Source implementations — remote and local — built and iterated with AI assistance.
ViewModels
Combine-based ViewModel logic reviewed and refined with the agent, catching edge cases early.
Unit Tests
TDD test cases generated and reviewed collaboratively — covering Repository, Data Source, and ViewModel layers.
UI & Exploration
Parts of the SwiftUI UI were co-written with the agent. Also experimented with CLAUDE.md files to guide the agent on project context — learning by doing.
