Challenge Overview
Project Overview
The purpose of the Min Config project is to build an iOS app to let users display media (photos and videos) and websites (URLs) easily on the TV using next gen device.
We have built the alpha app for demonstration purpose (see here), now it's time to move towards production.
Competition Task Overview
We have provided the following for this challenge:
- Alpha app
- Storyboards
- UI Prototype
For this challenge we want to complete the following features / requirements:
- Convert all screens from the storyboard / prototype to native iOS interface (iphone and portrait mode only). Note we don't want to use Phonegap or any similar framework, we need a fully native solution.
- Choose media screens must work, i.e. we need to be able to actually pick video / photo from our library. Note the screens must look identical to the storyboard (which is not the case in alpha app).
- Must be able to launch camera and record video / take photo (similar implementation as alpha app, but using native implementation instead of PhoneGap)
- Must be able to enter url and navigate to pages in an embedded webview (same implementation as alpha app, but using native implementation instead of PhoneGap)
Must be able to compress video and upload, must be able to upload photo and share URL to the server (same as current alpha app)- Other screens (login / info / settings) will not have backend functions for now
- Launching from custom url (same as what we have in alpha app)
UI
The app should follow the UI styles in the storyboard / prototype, but needs to be fully native.
You need to provide manual demos to verify your implementation.
Clarifications
We may provide some clarifications about how the app flows, but that shouldn't change the scope of this challenge too much.
Technology Overview
- iOS 5+
- iPhone
