The comparison of these patterns and choosing a better fit for each Swift-written project’s case will be discovered further on in this article.Following the chronological order of things, once the first software design patterns have appeared, the common issues of those ios development architecture patterns didn’t take long to arrive. For instance, the problem of server-client communication - how does one interact with another? Or a different one - the problem of separating the application’s business logic from the in-app’s logic; how this one should perform in terms of application’s architecture?
