Working with Data in iOS

Meta connects an iOS application with external data through REST APIs. The course moves from API concepts to Swift interactions and a final project. It is a data-integration choice for learners who can already write Swift and want to understand the boundary between an app and a service.

What you will learn

• Explain REST API interactions in an iOS app.
• Handle external data using Swift.
• Connect networking with application behavior.

Who this suits

Learners with an advanced understanding of Swift and functional API knowledge, as specified by the provider.

Before you enroll

Check the Mac, macOS and Xcode requirements before enrolling. Swift and Apple-framework APIs change, so preview the software versions used in the exercises. Publishing an app and using some cloud services have requirements beyond completing the lessons.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Use fictional API data to build a local loading flow and explain how the interface handles a failed or empty response.
