Maps App

Maps is an iOS app that allows users to search for cities and view their locations on a map using MapKit. It integrates with the Spott API from Rapid API to retrieve city data, including city name, population, and more.

Application flow

• Home screen is a map containing a search option. As user types, pins for matching cities are rendered on the map. (See GET /places /autocomplete) Population in the UI should be formatted according to the users preference
• Tapping on a pin you should see City name, Population, Button to detail screen
• Details screen should fetch detail info (See GET /places/{id}) containing
• A map with only one pin (selected city)

Features

• Search for cities using the Spott API.
• Display city locations on a Map with annotations.
• View city details, including name and population.
• Navigate to a detail screen for more information.

User Interface (UI)

The City Maps app's user interface is entirely constructed programmatically in Swift code, without the use of .xib files or storyboards. This approach offers more flexibility and control over the app's design and layout. Here are some key points about the UI:

• No .xib files or storyboards are used in the project.
• The app's UI is created using Swift code, allowing for dynamic and responsive user interfaces.
• Autolayout and constraints are utilized to ensure the app's UI adapts to different device sizes and orientations.
• The UI code is well-documented for easier maintenance and modification.
