Flutter Challenge

Objective

SaltPay is branching into the music business and needs a new Flutter app.

Brief

In a fictional world, SaltPay is branching into the music business and we need a new a app. This Flutter app needs to display the top 100 songs based on the iTunes API. This code challenge allows you to choose your own path and lets you flaunt your creative panache and technical skills along the way.

Tasks

• Show top 100 albums based on the json feed here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/topalbums/limit=100/json
• A clean modern look
• A good user experience
• Allow the top 100 to be searchable
• Surprise us! Add a feature that you think would work well here (for instance, advanced search, integration with other API, a " Favorite" functionality)
  • Describe the feature in separate markdown file

Deliverables

We are expecting a Flutter app that can be run on Android or iOS. ( choose only one )

Make sure to include all code in this repository.

For Android:

Build the app using the command flutter build apk --profile.

The apk file will be located in build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-profile.apk.

Please rename it to assignment.apk and place it in the root of the repository.

For iOS:

Include a assignment.zip file containing your compressed .app bundle in the root of the repository.

Your .app bundle must represent a simulator build of your app.

After running in iOS Simulator via Xcode, look in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<project-name>/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/.

Alternatively, you may run xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator (if you use .xcodeproj) or xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator -workspace Sample.xcworkspace/ -scheme <your-scheme>-configuration Debug (if you use .xcworkspace) in your project directory.

Then zip the .app bundle in build/Debug-iphonesimulator/.

Evaluation Criteria

• Flutter best practices: code structure, architecture, state management, etc.
• Show us your work through your commit history
• Completeness: did you complete the features?
• Correctness: does the functionality act in sensible, thought-out ways?
• Maintainability: is it written in a clean, maintainable way?
• Testing: is the system adequately tested?

CodeSubmit

Please organize, design, test and document your code as if it were going into production - then push your changes to the master branch. After you have pushed your code, you may submit the assignment on the assignment page.

All the best and happy coding,

The SaltPay Team
