Question 1

How do I integrate AdaptiveController into an existing iOS project?

Accepted Answer

Follow the README steps: drag the AdaptiveController project into yours, add it to target dependencies and link binary with libraries, then configure AdaptiveState objects and appearance arrays. The process is manual and requires careful setup of build phases.

Question 2

AdaptiveController vs building custom state management for progressive reduction: which is better?

Accepted Answer

AdaptiveController provides a structured framework for Progressive Reduction with pre-built state logic, saving time for tab bar implementations. However, for more control or simpler needs, custom code might be more efficient and avoid the library's overhead.

Question 3

Can AdaptiveController work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, it's built for UIKit and requires protocol adoption in UI components. For SwiftUI, you'd need to create a wrapper or build a similar system using SwiftUI's state management, as this library isn't designed for declarative UI.

Question 4

How to customize states beyond days or launches in AdaptiveController?

Accepted Answer

You can inherit from AdaptiveState classes to add custom states, as shown in the README with AdaptiveDateState. Define new state constants and methods to determine state based on your parameters, but this requires additional coding.

Question 5

Is AdaptiveController compatible with iOS 15 and newer versions?

Accepted Answer

The project uses CocoaPods and has Travis CI badges, but no specific compatibility info is provided. Since it's UIKit-based, it should work, but check the podspec or GitHub for updates and test on target iOS versions.

Question 6

How to handle persistence of adaptive states across app restarts?

Accepted Answer

The library manages state based on install date or launch counts internally. For custom persistence, you need to handle data storage separately, as the README doesn't offer built-in solutions beyond the basic parameters.
