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 3 source declaration(s).

Reference code

FullscreenLayoutSample/AppDelegate.swift:10 — 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 TVUIKit.

Ownership and state

classDiagram
    AppDelegate o-- UIWindow : window
    FullscreenCollectionViewController *-- TVCollectionViewFullScreenLayout : fullscreenLayout
    FullscreenCell *-- UIImageView : imageView
    FullscreenCell *-- UILabel : titleLabel

Ownership evidence

FullscreenLayoutSample/AppDelegate.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    // ...
    var window: UIWindow?
    // ...
}

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

FullscreenLayoutSample/AppDelegate.swift:11 — representative type boundary

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

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Reference code

FullscreenLayoutSample/FullscreenCell.swift:12 — representative boundary

    fileprivate let imageView: UIImageView = UIImageView(frame: .zero)
    fileprivate let titleLabel: UILabel = UILabel(frame: .zero)
    fileprivate let button: UIButton = UIButton(type: .plain)
    
    // This is the action that executes when someone presses the button.
    fileprivate var buttonAction: (() -> Void)?

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

Design patterns

Naming conventions

• Types: Controller: FullscreenCollectionViewController; Delegate: AppDelegate.
• Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
• Methods: application, viewDidLoad, numberOfSections, collectionView, image, title, pinViews, set.
• Files: FullscreenLayoutSample/AppDelegate.swift, FullscreenLayoutSample/FullscreenCollectionViewController.swift, FullscreenLayoutSample/FullscreenCell.swift.

Architecture takeaways

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