Bishal Ram SOLID Principle
The SOLID principles are five design principles that help create maintainable, scalable, and testable software. 1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) A class should have only one reason to change (i.e only one responsibility).

Creational Design Patterns (Object Creation) 1.1 Singleton Pattern Ensures only one instance of a class exists. 1.2 Factory Pattern Creates objects without specifying the …
Dependency Injection in iOS
Dependency Injection (DI) in Swift is a design pattern that allows to inject dependencies into a class instead of letting the class create them itself. This improves testability, modularity and flexibility. There are three main types of Dependency Injection in Swift: 1. Constructor Injection (Initialiser Injection) 2. Property Injection 3. …

OperationQueue
It’s built on top of Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) and provides a higher-level abstraction for managing concurrent operations. It’s an abstract class and never used directly. We can make use of the system-defined BlockOperation subclass or by creating your own subclass and start an operation by adding it to an OperationQueue or …
Global Dispatch Queues
GCD provides a set of global dispatch queues that are managed by the system. These queues are categorised into different quality-of-service (QoS) classes, indicating their priority. Main Dispatch Queue: The Main Dispatch Queue is a special serial dispatch queue associated with the main thread of your application. It’s the primary …
