Final Project

Mind the Check Out

About

Mind the Check Out is a simple, location-aware iPhone application that reminds a user to check in and check out with his or her rejsekort at selected train and metro stations and bus stops. To search for and select that particular location the application uses Rejseplanen API.

Installation

1. Open MindTheCheckOut.xcworkspace file in Xcode
2. Build & Run

Implementation

This simple application consists of just three view controllers embedded in a UINavigationViewController. The first one, StationsViewController, shows a table view with active reminders and recently used locations. It also includes UISearchDisplayViewController to handle searching functionality. Second one, ReminderViewController shows info about selected location as well as sets up and cancels reminders. The last one, SettingsViewController, works as the name suggests to set default values for the application, e.g. radius for alarm activation and map view zoom level.

Rather than handling location changes within the application, it simply creates location based reminders in the Apple's Reminder application. The reminders then stay there until either the user cancels them in the application or deletes them in the Reminders app. For more information see Reminder.{h|m} files.

Except elementary Apple's framework like UIKit the application requires the following frameworks:

• MapKit
• CoreLocation
• EventKit

The app requires iOS SDK 6.0+

3rd Party Libraries

Mind the Check Out uses the following third party libraries:

• AFNetworking - github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking
• TestFlight SDK - testflightapp.com/sdk/

For dependency version requirements see Podfile file in the project directory.

This Xcode project uses CocoaPods to manage all the library dependencies. To ensure that at any given time any developer could do a clone and build and run, the content of Pods directory is included in the repository as well. Therefore, it's not required to install either CocoaPods on your computer nor do pod install to install the project dependencies.

However, to update outdated dependencies just do pod update in the project's directory. And of course, to do this you must have CocoaPods installed.
