10 years ago OK job. You're loading images synchronously which blocks that UI, and your app crashes when there's no internet, and there's no code for an error message. Please fix and resubmit.
The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API. When I'm auditing the code, I use the checklist below. If you didn't do one of the items below, you should consider implementing it.
- Movie model. Did you have some way to create it from a dictionary?
- You should have implemented a custom cell. When creating a custom cell, make sure never to use imageView, titleLabel, or subtitleLabel. Those are already used by UITableViewCell and using them in your custom cell will cause subtle things to happen such as image views not loading until you click on the cell.
- You should have loaded all the images asynchronously. One way to do that was to use AFNetworking, installed via CocoaPods.
- You should observe the UIContentMode of the UIImageView. By default, it will stretch the image to match your dimensions, which is probably not what you want.
- If you had a custom cell, you should configure the Auto Layout parameters. We'll review that in class.
- Did you display some loading indicator while you were fetching the movies.
- Did you display an error if you failed while fetching the movies.
