iOS Application for CSC 436 Final Project

Notes for Final Submission

Logging In

• Upon install, you will be presented with a Google login button.

• Once logged in, you should be presented with this screen immediately.

• From here you can select a roommate to add a task to, add a task to yourself ("test") or go to either the Calendar or Event pages.
• To create a new household or make a new user in my pre-existing household you must logout using the button in the top left of the homescreen.
• To join the existing household, login with your own Google account and enter the following credentials

Username: Anything except rgolmass, zdrichar, or tester. The app will not allow you to create an account with a pre-existing username

House ID: calpoly

House Password: password

• To create a new household, enter your own custom values for the above fields.

APIs

• Google Sign In - Allow for Google User Authentication
• JTAppleCalendar - Easily customized calendar interface
• Firebase - Data storage and user management
• Codable Firebase - Easier Codable->Firebase->Codable parsing
• EventKit - Adds created events to user's default calendar application Note: As stated by another student in class (I meant to mention this in my presentation as well), the Google Calendair API is only available in Objective-C and I elected to use EventKit over Google Calendar for this reason. EventKit will add the new event to the user's default calendar, which in a simulator should always be the default Apple Calendar.

Features To Add

• Prettier Calendar - TableView below Calendar that show events taking place on the selected date. Double-tapping on a date will allow the user to add an event on that day.
• More Info For Tasks/Events - I would like Tasks and Events to record which user created them, and handle Date/Time better.
• Notifications - In addition to adding Events to the user's calendar, if Tasks had more Date/Time information they would be useful as Notifications for the user.
• Venmo / Paypal Integration - Being able to add a monetary charge to a Task would be useful for households, and most college students regularly use both of these services.
• Assigning events to a range of dates. This is possible using JTAppleCalendar, but not currently supported.

Bugs

• Occasionally the Google login will consider a user as "new" when they already have a Google-authorized account. This causes the user to be trapped in account creation. I have not been able to reliably reproduce this bug, as it will occur seemingly randomly when launching application after multiple successful logins.
