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 3 project/configuration file(s) and 6 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            MainView()
        }
    }
}

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 Vision.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift:11 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

struct SelfieResultsView: View {
    var selfie: Selfie
    // ...
}
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
SelfieResultsView Selfie (selfie) stores or receives App/module collaborators
BoundingBox NormalizedRect (normalizedRect) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
FaceLandmark Region (region) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
Selfie Data (photo) 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

SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary

struct SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            MainView()
        }
    }
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp Application entry and top-level composition App
MainView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
SelfieResultsView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
BoundingBox Represents a feature value or composable behavior Shape
FaceLandmark Represents a feature value or composable behavior Shape
Selfie Represents a feature value or composable behavior Hashable

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
normalizedRect (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/CustomShapes.swift:13) 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.
showingFaceRectangle (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift:13) 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.
showingFaceLandmarks (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift:14) 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.
MainView (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:8) implicit internal No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface.

Reference code

SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/CustomShapes.swift:13 — representative boundary

    private let normalizedRect: NormalizedRect
    
    init(observation: any BoundingBoxProviding) {
        normalizedRect = observation.boundingBox
    }

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 SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding MainView, SelfieResultsView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
No named application pattern SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift:10 The verified source directly composes concrete framework types; this document avoids forcing a pattern name.

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp; View: MainView, SelfieResultsView.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: path, processSelfie, processAllSelfies.
  • Files: SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift, SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift, SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches SwiftUI, PhotosUI, Vision 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.
