Sky Island Explorer iOS App

Current project developing a photo journal mobile app and associated website/museum display. Uses a range of frameworks installed using Cocoa Pods including

  • MagicalRecord
  • ACEDrawingView
  • ALAssetsLibrary-CustomPhotoAlbum
  • ASCollectionViewController
  • AFNetworking
  • MMProgressHUD

Image collection is handled using the UIPickerView class, and the CustomPhotoAlbum addition to the ALAssetsLibrary class. Journal entries are saved using Core Data. The app can contact the museum server using AFNetworking via a JSON API in order to send journal entries and images. Uploaded entries are saved in a MySQL database.

The museum website (designed both for mobile devices and large display screens) uses another JSON API to display information from the database. The website has a administrative back-end that allows museum staff to approve and edit individual entries.
