• Search & Filter: Real-time search and favorites filtering.
• Animations: Custom micro-animations for interactions.
• Editing: Custom inputs for title and date tracking.

How to Run in Xcode

Since this project was generated file-by-file, you need to create an Xcode project to run it.

1. Open Xcode and create a New Project.
2. Select iOS > App.
3. Product Name: DarkNote (or whatever you prefer).
4. Interface: Select Storyboard (don't worry, we'll remove it).
5. Language: Swift.
6. Create the project in a known location (e.g., Desktop).

Importing Files

1. Delete the default ViewController.swift and SceneDelegate.swift, AppDelegate.swift from the new Xcode project.
2. Move the Sources folder from this generated project into your Xcode project folder on disk.
3. Drag and Drop the Sources folder into the Xcode Project Navigator. Make sure "Copy items if needed" is unchecked (since they are already there) and "Create groups" is selected. Check your target.

Configuration

1. Info.plist:
   • If Xcode generated an Info.plist, you can leave it.
   • If not, or if you want to be sure, you can look at the simplified Info.plist provided in this package.
   • Crucial Step: To enable programmatic UI, open your target settings -> General -> Deployment Info. Make sure "Main Interface" is empty (delete "Main").
2. Scene Manifest:
   • Ensure your Info.plist (or Target -> Info -> Custom iOS Target Properties) -> Application Scene Manifest -> Scene Configuration -> Application Session Role -> Item 0 -> Scene Delegate Class Name matches $(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).SceneDelegate.

Run

• Select your simulator or device.
• Hit Run (Cmd+R).
