Notes

  • While developing, I had a problem with the collection view. Within it, my images first appeared to be very small. I tried to make sure the image view within the cell and the collection view itself were of the appropriate sizes. But even after rewatching the video, the issue persisted. To rectify this problem, I needed to go to the collection view and change "Estimate Size" to None.

Notes

  • During this project, I had the biggest challenge with installing Alamofire and OAuthSwift pods.
  • In my app, I also removed the colored background for poster images, but it didn't remove itself in the preview on the device.
  • After using a physical device to preview the app, I also noticed that XCode no longer showed a computer preview for a generated device.
  • I also tried the bonus and noticed much of the menu for constraints had changed. XCode gave me a few suggestions for the constraints and I followed the instructions as much as I could, making sure to include automatic row height instead of the hard coded value. See image below:
