Problem Description

Per a partner team, the iOS SDK does not fit with expectations set by existing iOS libraries in the following ways

  • The SDK uses Objective-C++ which is not typical
  • Lack of a bridging header for interop with Swift
  • Use of UpperCamelCase instead of lowerCamelCase
  • Mixed use of Auto Layout and manual layout
  • Use of Float instead of CGFloat
  • API based on string and not Dictionary<string, any> which is more typical on iOS
  • Cached images will clip and not size properly
  • No way to override BackgroundImage
