At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Collect performance metrics, diagnostic reports, and experiment data related to your app’s current state using the MetricKit framework. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain MetricKitSampleApp → MainTabView → DashboardViewModel → SwiftUI / SwiftData APIs. |
| Main patterns | Model-View-ViewModel, Delegate or data-source callbacks, Coordinator, Actor-isolated state |
| Project style | 27 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |

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 5 project/configuration file(s) and 39 source declaration(s).

}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 MetricKit.

Ownership evidence
MetricKit-Sample/MetricKitSampleApp.swift:16 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
@main
struct MetricKitSampleApp: App {
// ...
private let metricsCollector = MetricsCollector()
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
MetricKitSampleApp |
MetricsCollector (metricsCollector) |
creates and retains | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
CategorySpend |
ExpenseCategory (category) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
CategorySpend |
Double (total) |
owns value state | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
CategoryAverage |
ExpenseCategory (category) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
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.
Class and protocol design
MetricKit-Sample/MetricKitSampleApp.swift:12 — representative type boundary
struct MetricKitSampleApp: App {
// ...
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
MetricKitSampleApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
DashboardViewModel |
UI-facing state and feature coordination | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
ExpenseReportViewModel |
UI-facing state and feature coordination | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
DocumentCameraView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | UIViewControllerRepresentable |
Coordinator |
Cross-object flow or session coordination | NSObject, VNDocumentCameraViewControllerDelegate |
MainTabView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
CrashReportAnnotationView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
DashboardView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ExpenseCardView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ExpenseDetailView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
defaultContainer (MetricKit-Sample/DataContainer.swift:26) |
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. |
previewContainer (MetricKit-Sample/DataContainer.swift:36) |

Reference code
MetricKit-Sample/DataContainer.swift:26 — representative boundary
private static let defaultContainer: ModelContainer = {
// ...
}()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 |
|---|---|---|
| Application entry and top-level composition | MetricKitSampleApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Cross-object flow or session coordination | Coordinator |
The source’s Coordinator suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | CrashReportAnnotationView, DashboardView, DocumentCameraView, ExpenseCardView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
| UI-facing state and feature coordination | DashboardViewModel, ExpenseReportViewModel |
The source’s ViewModel suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Model-View-ViewModel | MetricKit-Sample/View Models/DashboardViewModel.swift:45 |
Role-named view models keep UI-facing state or coordination outside view declarations. |
| Delegate or data-source callbacks | MetricKit-Sample/Views/DocumentCameraView.swift:27 |
Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner. |
| Coordinator | MetricKit-Sample/Views/DocumentCameraView.swift:27 |
A role-named coordinator centralizes cross-object flow. |
| Actor-isolated state | MetricKit-Sample/MetricsCollector.swift:21 |
Actor annotations make the concurrency ownership boundary explicit. |
Naming conventions
- Types: App: MetricKitSampleApp; Coordinator: Coordinator; View: CrashReportAnnotationView, DashboardView, DocumentCameraView, ExpenseCardView, ExpenseDetailView; ViewModel: DashboardViewModel, ExpenseReportViewModel.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
computeSpendingValues,didScanImage,clearPendingImage,addReport,submitReport,revertToDraft,deleteExpenses,addExpense. - Files:
MetricKit-Sample/MetricKitSampleApp.swift,MetricKit-Sample/View Models/DashboardViewModel.swift,MetricKit-Sample/View Models/ExpenseReportViewModel.swift,MetricKit-Sample/Views/DocumentCameraView.swift,MetricKit-Sample/Views/MainTabView.swift,MetricKit-Sample/Views/CrashReportAnnotationView.swift.
Architecture takeaways
MetricKitSampleAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, SwiftData, StateReporting, Charts 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.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
