Swift iOS Development: Integrate the X API to Post and Fetch Tweets

Connecting mobile apps to external web services is a fundamental skill for any modern iOS developer. If you want to move beyond static layouts and build dynamic, data-driven applications, mastering API integration is your next step. This text-based course guides you through the process of building a functional iOS client app that interacts with the X (formerly Twitter) API. You will start with core networking concepts, learn how Swift handles web requests, and progressively build features to authenticate users, display feeds, and publish updates directly from your custom app interface. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational networking concepts, API protocols, and JSON data structures in iOS development. - Configure secure user authentication using modern OAuth workflows. - Implement asynchronous network requests using Swift's native async/await syntax and URLSession. - Parse complex API responses into clean Swift data models using Codable. - Build a responsive user interface with SwiftUI to display dynamic feeds and profile information. - Manage external dependencies safely using Swift Package Manager. The journey begins with key terminology, API fundamentals, and setting up your development environment. From there, you will read through step-by-step implementations, analyzing structured code snippets to build authentication, feed retrieval, and posting capabilities. This course is designed for beginner iOS developers and Swift learners who want to gain practical experience with real-world API integration. No prior networking experience is required.
