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 12 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:13 — architecture anchor

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    // ...
}

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 TV Services.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:16 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

    var window: UIWindow?
    private var tabBarController: UITabBarController?

    private let profileData = ProfileData()
    private let keychainController = KeychainController()
    private let userManager = TVUserManager()
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
AppDelegate UIWindow (window) stores or receives App/module collaborators
AppDelegate UITabBarController (tabBarController) stores or receives Owning lexical scope
AppDelegate ProfileData (profileData) creates and retains Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
AppDelegate KeychainController (keychainController) creates and retains 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

ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:14 — representative type boundary

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    // ...
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
AppDelegate Receives callback-driven events UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate
HomeViewController View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination UIViewController
SignInView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
KeychainController View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
PosterView User-interface presentation and input forwarding UIView
ProfilePickerViewController View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination UIViewController
SettingsViewController View lifecycle, callbacks, and feature coordination UIViewController
SectionHeader Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle UICollectionReusableView
Profile Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
Section Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks

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
tabBarController (ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:17) 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.
profileData (ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:19) 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.
keychainController (ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:20) 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.
userManager (ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:21) 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

ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:17 — representative boundary

    private var tabBarController: UITabBarController?

    private let profileData = ProfileData()
    private let keychainController = KeychainController()
    private let userManager = TVUserManager()

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 HomeViewController, KeychainController, ProfilePickerViewController, SettingsViewController The source’s Controller suffix makes this role explicit.
Receives callback-driven events AppDelegate The source’s Delegate suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding PosterView, SignInView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
View-controller organization ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/HomeViewController.swift:14 A controller is the verified coordination boundary; this is MVC-style only where a separate model is present.
Delegate or data-source callbacks ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift:14 Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner.

Naming conventions

  • Types: Controller: HomeViewController, KeychainController, ProfilePickerViewController, SettingsViewController; Delegate: AppDelegate; View: PosterView, SignInView.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: application, presentProfilePicker, resetPreferences, signOut, presentSignInIfNeeded, presentSignIn, presentProfilePickerIfNeeded, viewDidLoad.
  • Files: ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/AppDelegate.swift, ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/HomeViewController.swift, ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/SignInView.swift, ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/KeychainController.swift, ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/PosterView.swift, ProfilesSample/ProfilesSample/ProfilePickerViewController.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • AppDelegate is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches UIKit, SwiftUI, TVServices, TVUIKit 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.
