Documentation Structure

This documentation is organized into the following sections:

1. Architecture: MVVM with Clean Architecture principles, folder structure, and dependency injection
2. Coding Standards: Optionals handling, error handling, and memory management
3. API Integration: Authentication, token refresh, pagination, and retry logic
4. Local Storage: Preferences, secure storage, and offline strategies
5. UI Standards: Design systems, accessibility, dark mode, and localization
6. Release Process: Versioning, TestFlight, and app store release checklists

Core Principles

All mobile applications should follow these core principles:

• Separation of Concerns: Keep UI, business logic, and data layers separate
• Testability: Write testable code with proper dependency injection
• Platform Consistency: Follow platform-specific design guidelines while maintaining consistent business logic
• Security: Store sensitive data securely and implement proper authentication
• Performance: Optimize for battery life, memory usage, and network efficiency
• Accessibility: Ensure apps are accessible to all users
• Maintainability: Write clean, documented code that's easy to understand and modify
