Answer from AI
In iOS applications, the main global variables and states are usually related to managing the application's lifecycle and general settings:
- AppDelegate and SceneDelegate — contain the application's state, handle launch events, transition to background, etc.
- UserDefaults — a storage for settings and small data, accessible globally within the app.
- Singleton objects — classes implemented as singletons, often used to store global state, such as session managers, user settings, data caches.
- NotificationCenter — a mechanism for transmitting events and updating state between different parts of the app.
- Global constants and configurations — usually declared in separate files and accessible throughout the app.
Example of a singleton for storing global user state:
class UserManager {
static let shared = UserManager()
private init() {}
var currentUser: User?
}
// Usage:
UserManager.shared.currentUser = someUser
