About the Project

All API calls are handled on the Services.swift file, which contains a completion handler for each call that always returns a success or a failure, as well as the object or list of objects as needed. All JSON responses are managed using the Decodable protcol.

The design of the application were all handled on the Storyboards using AutoLayout, and the navigation is made through segues. There are a few NIB files for specific cells (TableView or CollectionView).

For each ViewController there is a ViewModel that controls the data and methods related to it, leaving the ViewController to handle only what is supposed to be presented to the user.

To store the information about the user's Favorte Shows it was used CoreData.

The PIN registered to log into the app is stored over the device's KeyChain.
