About the Course

You will learn to extend your knowledge of making iOS apps so that they can securely interact with web services and receive push notifications. You'll learn how to store data securely on a device using Core Data. You’ll also learn to securely deploy apps to the App Store and beta users over-the-air. The format of the course is through a series of code tutorials. We will walk you through the creation of several apps that you can keep as a personal app toolbox. When you make your own apps after this course, you can bring in these capabilities as needed. When necessary we pop out of the code tutorials to talk about concepts at a higher level so that what you are programming makes sense. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Post Facebook, Twitter, Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo messages to social media using single sign-on on behalf of a user. 2. Use OAuth 2.0 to securely authenticate to Instagram and retrieve photos on behalf of a user 3. JSON 4. Describe JSON’s syntax 5. Write well-formed JSON 6. Work with JSON data objects in Objective-C 7. Appropriately set the security settings for App Transport Security in iOS 9.0 8. Use http, https and https with perfect forward secrecy to fetch web resources 9. Obtain permissions to receive local push notifications 11. Write an app that can send and receive local push notifications 12. Obtain permissions to receive remote push notifications 13. Write an app that can receive remote push notifications 14. Authenticate using Apple’s cryptographic services such that the developer can use 3rd party infrastructure to send remote push notifications to their app. 15. Securely store data on the user’s device. 16. Authenticate using Apple’s cryptographic services such that they can deploy an app to the app store...

Excellent intermediate level course for objectives C. Good approach to the course presentation. Introduces concepts clearly and then drives into actual implementation.

Very detailed course that contains lots of practice. Some information is changed for the current versions iOS and XCode, but despite this I like the course! Thank you.

Thi course covers up the basics of networking and security for iOS applications using Objective-C. It's a great course if you want to understand the basics and want to implement in practice some of these topics. I just wish it cover more cases and more apps. But for that this should be a course more longer than it is. Nevertheless it's a great course.

Overall, a good solid course. There are some difficult times when the video lectures do not respond well with newer versions of Xcode. It takes some extra effort to find things in Xcode8 vs 5. I relied heavily on the course website, Discourse. Great information about the next stages of iOS app building.

The course needs to be updated to reflect API and third-party service changes, but the JSON material and (especially) the core storage lesson are well worth the effort.

Great material, a bit confusing to follow on certain assignments where there's live code writing, troubleshooting and turning off/on of the recording.

Good course, but not that much network and not so much security. Nevertheless, good course with useful techniques and explanations.
