The Code

• My main goal was to implement a scaleable and testable architecture.
• The communication with Foursquare has been implemented in a separate framework.
• In this framework, I've tried to replicate Foursquare's API structure as much as possible.
• The app communicates with the Foursquare framework using the VenueService protocol, and maps the framework's structures into an application specific Venue structure.
• Combined with the usage of dependency injection, it's easy to test the app (swap the Foursquare.Session for a mock VenueService, as seen in NearbyVenueSearchControllerTests).

Dependencies

I've tried to use as few dependencies as possible. The following dependencies have been used:

• Unbox for JSON decoding.
• This UIColor extension for converting a HEX string to a UIColor instance.
