Displaying an Indoor Map
At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Use the Indoor Mapping Data Format (IMDF) to show an indoor map with custom overlays and points of interest. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain AppDelegate → IndoorMapViewController → MapKit APIs. |
| Main patterns | View-controller organization, Protocol-oriented abstraction, Delegate or data-source callbacks |
| Project style | 16 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |
| Execution model | No structured execution marker indexed; callback threading requires source review. |
| State/event model | No structured observation or publisher-scheduling marker indexed. |
| Key frameworks/packages | Foundation, MapKit, UIKit, CoreLocation; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels. |

Structure observations
- Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
- Primary languages: Swift.
- The verified tree contains 6 project/configuration file(s) and 31 source declaration(s).

Reference code
Dinoseum/AppDelegate.swift:10 — architecture anchor
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into MapKit.
Ownership and state

Ownership evidence
Dinoseum/AppDelegate.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
AppDelegate |
UIWindow (window) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
IMDFArchive |
URL (baseDirectory) |
owns value state | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
IMDFDecoder |
MKGeoJSONDecoder (geoJSONDecoder) |
creates and retains | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
LevelPickerView |
LevelPickerDelegate (delegate) |
holds a non-owning reference | The referenced object’s lifecycle is owned elsewhere |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety
Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.
No source-visible execution, scheduling, or synchronization boundary was found in the indexed source.
@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.
State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies
Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.
| Category | Mechanism or module | Verified role | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source import | Foundation |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Dinoseum/IMDFDecoder.swift:8 |
| Source import | MapKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Dinoseum/IMDFDecoder.swift:9 |

| Source import | CoreLocation |

receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.
Class and protocol design
Dinoseum/Views/LevelPickerView.swift:10 — representative type boundary
@objc protocol LevelPickerDelegate: AnyObject {
func selectedLevelDidChange(selectedIndex: Int)
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
AppDelegate |
Receives callback-driven events | UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate |
LevelPickerDelegate |
Defines a capability or collaboration contract | AnyObject |
LevelPickerView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | UIView |
IndoorMapViewController |
View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate, LevelPickerDelegate |
LabelAnnotationView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | MKAnnotationView |
PointAnnotationView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | MKAnnotationView |
IMDFDecodableFeature |
Defines a capability or collaboration contract | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
StylableFeature |
Defines a capability or collaboration contract | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
IMDFError |
Represents feature failure conditions | Error |
IMDFArchive |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
The source explicitly defines local protocol relationships: IndoorMapViewController → LevelPickerDelegate, Level → StylableFeature, Unit → StylableFeature, Opening → StylableFeature, Amenity → StylableFeature, Occupant → StylableFeature.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
geoJSONDecoder (Dinoseum/IMDFDecoder.swift:56) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
decodeOccupants (Dinoseum/IMDFDecoder.swift:120) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface. |
decodeFeatures (Dinoseum/IMDFDecoder.swift:159) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface. |
localizations (Dinoseum/IMDFModel/LocalizedName.swift:11) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
Reference code
Dinoseum/IMDFDecoder.swift:56 — representative boundary
class IMDFDecoder {
private let geoJSONDecoder = MKGeoJSONDecoder()
// ...
}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | IndoorMapViewController |
The source’s Controller suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Receives callback-driven events | AppDelegate, LevelPickerDelegate |
The source’s Delegate suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | LabelAnnotationView, LevelPickerView, PointAnnotationView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| View-controller organization | Dinoseum/IndoorMapViewController.swift:12 |
A controller is the verified coordination boundary; this is MVC-style only where a separate model is present. |
| Protocol-oriented abstraction | Dinoseum/IndoorMapViewController.swift:12 |
A local protocol and concrete conformance create an explicit capability boundary. |
| Delegate or data-source callbacks | Dinoseum/AppDelegate.swift:11 |
Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner. |

Architecture takeaways
AppDelegateis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches MapKit, UIKit, CoreLocation through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- Local protocol relationships provide an explicit substitution boundary.
