A Short Note – Is The Awesome Layers of Apple iOS Architecture Important ?

Hello Readers, CoolMonkTechie heartily welcomes you in A Short Note Series (Is The Awesome Layers of Apple iOS Architecture Important ?).

In this note series, we’ll learn about Apple iOS Architecture layers. The iOS is the operating system created by Apple Inc. for mobile devices. The iOS is used in many of the mobile devices for apple such as iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.


So Let’s begin.

Overview

Is The Awesome Layers of Apple iOS Architecture Important? For Which purpose should we understand the Apple iOS Architecture Layers ?

Yes, It is important to understand the different layers of Apple iOS Architecture, because The Apple iOS Architecture is layered. It contains an intermediate layer between the applications and the hardware so they do not communicate directly. The lower layers in iOS provide the basic services, and the higher layers provide the user interface and sophisticated graphics.

The layered architecture of iOS is given:

Layers in Apple iOS Architecture

iOS is a layered architecture comprising 4 different layers:

1. Core OS

The Core OS layer holds the low-level features that most other technologies are built upon. It also interacts directly with the hardware. Most of the functionality provided by the three higher level layers are built upon the Core OS layer and its low-level features. The Core OS layer provides a handful of frameworks that your application can use directly, such as the Accelerate and the Security frameworks. These technologies include Core Bluetooth Framework, External Accessory Framework, Accelerate Framework, Security Service Framework, Local Authorisation Framework, etc.

2. Core Service Layer

This layer provides features such as block objects, Grand Central Dispatch, In-App Purchase, and iCloud Storage. Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) was introduced in this layer, which takes care of all the Memory Management. Core Services layer is also closely tied to the C-based Core Foundation-framework or Core Foundation.

3. Media Layer

A useful layer that provides multimedia services which you can use within your iPhone, and other iOS devices. The Media layer comprises Graphics, Audio, and video. This layer comprises Assets Library, Core Text, Core Graphics, OpenGL ES and OpenAL, AV Foundation and Core Media. This layer is responsible for any kinds of drawing, rendering 2D and 3D data, buffering video, Text layout, etc.

4. Cocoa Touch Layer

It is the topmost layer in the iOS architecture. This layer provides the abstraction of IOS, it is written in Objective–C. It is important, and it contains some key frameworks which are used by native applications. The UIKit framework is the most widely used. Foundation Kit Framework, MapKit, PushKit, EventKit are some other useful frameworks. It defines the basic application management and infrastructure, multitasking support, user interface management, multi-touch support, motion event, etc.


Conclusion

In this note series, we understood the different layers of Apple iOS architecture which is used in many of the apple mobile devices.

A Short Note – React Terminology Cheatsheet

Hello Readers, CoolMonkTechie heartily welcomes you in A Short Note Series(React Terminology Cheatsheet).

In this note series, we will learn about the commonly used React Terminology and definitions. This article will explain some common terminology from ReactJS.

So, Let’s begin.

  • Single-page Application – An application that loads a single HTML page and all the necessary assets (such as Javascript and CSS) required for the application to run.
  • ES6,ES2015,ES2016 – Most recent versions of the ECMAScript Language Specification standard, which is the javascript language is an implementation of.
  • Compiler – A Javascript compiler takes JavaScript code, transforms it and returns JavaScript code in a different format.
  • Bundlers – Bundlers takes JavaScript and CSS code written as separate modules and compile them together into a few files better optimized for the browser.
  • Package Managers – Package Managers are tools that allow you to manage dependencies in your project.
  • CDN – CDN stands for Content Delivery Network. CDNs deliver cached, static content from a network of servers across the globe.
  • Elements – React elements are the building blocks of React applications. An elements describes what you want to see on the screen.React elements are immutable.
  • JSX – Allows us to write HTML like syntax which gets transformed to lightweight Javascript objects.
  • Virtual DOM – A Javascript representation of the actual DOM.
  • React.Component – The way in which you create a new component.
  • render method – Describes what the UI will look like for the particular component.
  • ReactDOM.render – Renders a React component to a DOM node.
  • State – The internal data store (Object) of a component.
  • constructor (this.state) – The way in which you establish the initial state of a component.
  • setState – A helper method used for updating the state of a component and re-rendering the UI.
  • props – The data which is passed to the child component from the parent component.
  • propTypes – Allow you to control the presence or types of certain props passed to the child component.
  • defaultProps – Allows you set default props for your component.
  • props.children – Available on every component. It contains the content between the opening and closing tags of a component.
  • Component Lifecycle
    • componentDidMount – Fired before the component mounted.
    • componentWillUnmount – Fired after the component will unmount.
    • getDerivedStateFromProps – This method fired when the component mounts and whenever the props change. Used to update the state of a component when its props change.
  • Events
    • onClick
    • onSubmit
    • onChange
  • Controlled Component – An input form element whose value is controlled by React
  • Uncontrolled Component – An uncontrolled component works like form elements do outside of React.
