| Purpose | Allow users to purchase media in the App Store from within your app. |
| App architecture | A C/Objective-C header, Objective-C, Swift sample bundle with entry-bearing project variants Objective-C, Swift, each leading to StoreKit APIs. |
| Main patterns | View-controller organization, Delegate or data-source callbacks |
| Project style | 12 scanned source file(s) across C/Objective-C header, Objective-C, 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: C/Objective-C header, Objective-C, Swift.
- The verified tree contains 13 project/configuration file(s) and 7 source declaration(s).

}Interpretation
The branches represent separate entry-bearing project variants in the downloaded bundle, not runtime calls between those variants. Each branch is intentionally collapsed at the documented framework boundary; the detailed target-local flow remains in the cited files. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment.
Ownership and state
classDiagram
TableViewController o-- NSMutableArray : products
AppDelegate o-- UIWindow : window
Product *-- String : title
Product *-- String : productIdentifier
Ownership evidence
Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/TableViewController.m:15 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
@interface TableViewController () <SKStoreProductViewControllerDelegate>
@property (strong) NSMutableArray *products;
@end| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
TableViewController |
NSMutableArray (products) |
retains or copies an assigned value | Owning Objective-C implementation |
AppDelegate |
UIWindow (window) |
retains or copies an assigned value | Header-visible collaborators |
Product |
String (title) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
Product |
String (productIdentifier) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
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
Swift/StoreProductViewController/AppDelegate.swift:11 — representative type boundary
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
AppDelegate |
Receives callback-driven events | UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate |
AppDelegate |
Receives callback-driven events | UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate |
TableViewController |
View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | UITableViewController |
TableViewController |
View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination | UITableViewController |
Product |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
Product |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
window (Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/AppDelegate.h:11) |
header-visible |
The declaration is exposed to translation units that import the header. | Inference: declare a contract needed by other Objective-C/C translation units. |
exists (Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/NSString+Additions.h:13) |
header-visible |
The declaration is exposed to translation units that import the header. | Inference: declare a contract needed by other Objective-C/C translation units. |
title (Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/Product.h:12) |
header-visible |
The declaration is exposed to translation units that import the header. | Inference: declare a contract needed by other Objective-C/C translation units. |
productIdentifier (Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/Product.h:14) |
header-visible |
The declaration is exposed to translation units that import the header. | Inference: declare a contract needed by other Objective-C/C translation units. |
Reference code
Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/AppDelegate.h:11 — representative boundary
@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
@endSwift 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 | TableViewController |
The source’s Controller suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Receives callback-driven events | AppDelegate |
The source’s Delegate suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| View-controller organization | Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/TableViewController.h:11 |
A controller is the verified coordination boundary; this is MVC-style only where a separate model is present. |
| Delegate or data-source callbacks | Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/AppDelegate.h:10 |
Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner. |
Naming conventions
- Types: Controller: TableViewController; Delegate: AppDelegate.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
viewDidLoad,tableView,showStoreForProduct,productViewControllerDidFinish,fetchMedia,showStore,application. - Files:
Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/TableViewController.m,Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/AppDelegate.h,Objective-C/StoreProductViewController/TableViewController.h,Swift/StoreProductViewController/AppDelegate.swift,Swift/StoreProductViewController/TableViewController.swift,Swift/StoreProductViewController/Product.swift.
Architecture takeaways
mainis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches UIKit, StoreKit 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.
