Project Description

In this project, we will be building our first Swfit app called PicDraw, which allows users to choose any picture from their camera roll, and allow them to draw whatever they’d like around it. Once they have created their masterpiece, they can save/share their image! There are four libraries used -

  • Foundation - supports basic functionality
  • PhotosUI - allows users to select photos and videos from their photo library
  • SwiftUI - Apple’s framework for building declarative user interfaces
  • UIKit - traditional UI framework used to develop iOS apps

*As this is your first Swift project, things may seem a bit daunting, but do not get discouraged! Start early ask questions to anyone on teaching staff if you ever get stuck. Work together as well!

App Requirements

This is a relatively simple app. There is only one screen, so your job is to create buttons, define functionality.

  1. Canvas View - Implement all the buttons for the main view of the app.
    • Button that allows user to pick an image
    • Button to erase a drawing
    • Button to export the image

  2. Draggable Image View - Functionality to drag, pinch, and expand an image on the canvas.

  3. Image Picker - Introduces a user with a new view that allows them to choose an image from their camera roll to use on the canvas.

There are other minor things that you must implement, but the core functionality is listed above.
