iOS App
A native iOS application that displays information about countries worldwide. The app fetches country data from the REST Countries API and presents it in a clean, tab-based interface with search and detail views.
Every country in the world, one tap away.
A reference tool that loads without blocking.
Built in UIKit with Swift Concurrency: the REST Countries API is fetched with async/await while a custom UIImageView extension streams each flag in, so the table stays responsive as 250 countries populate.
