- API data is hosted on GitHub repo.
- Network calls are made using URLSession.
- A base network layer is written to make the API calls with the help of Generics.
- Simply conform the new service to the `ServiceType`, the wrapper takes care of the rest.
- Helpful in scaling and maintaining the app in future and by other developers.
- implemented both in completion handler way and async/away way.
- AVPlayer initialization before the video cell is rendered on the screens.
- Player caching can be implemented for prefetching the player item for extra smooth UX and reduce hitch time.
- Play duration progress can be saved to continue the progress when viewed again according to the business logic.
