Dr. Dominik Hauser

Dr. Dominik Hauser is an iOS developer working for a small company in western Germany. In over 11 years as an iOS developer, he has worked on many different apps, both large and small. In his spare time, Dominik builds small (often silly) apps and explores how he can become a better iOS developer. He talks at conferences, writes books, and is active in the iOS community in general. His most successful open source component (in terms of stars) is a pull-to-refresh control for a table view that consists of an actual SpriteKit game. Before Dominik became an iOS developer, he was a physicist, researching the most powerful photon sources within our galaxy.

Testing button actions with ViewInspector

The user puts in the address for the to-do item. In the details view of an item, the app shows a map of that location. This means we need to convert the address of the item to a coordinate before we can add the item to the list. Apple provides a GeoCoder class for that task. We will write tests for fetching an address from a GeoCoder class in Chapter 10, Testing Networking Code.

In this chapter, we assume that we already have a class called APIClient that uses GeoCoder (or some similar service) to translate an address into a coordinate. In the test, we are going to use a mock object for that APIClient class. Follow these steps to add a protocol for the APIClient class and a mock conforming to that protocol:

  1. Select the ToDo group in the project navigator and add a new Swift file with the name APIClient.swift.
  2. Add the following protocol definition to that new file:
    // APIClient.swift
    protocol APIClientProtocol {
      func...
