WallUp is a full-working template (UI + Source Code) where people can browse Wallpapers, save them on their devices for later use, and like or comment their favorite arts.

The wallpaper details screen offers the possibility to apply some blur with a slider, as well as preview the image as Home and Lock screens.

Users can edit their profile, like wallpapers and see them in their account page.

To make the app’s experience more social, people are allowed to post comments for each wallpaper, as well as report inappropriate content to the Admin.

The Admin should daily check the database for reported content/users, and take action for it.

The design is clean, code is commented and project folders and files are well organized in the package.

• Check out the Features section below to see what this app does.
• Read the online Documentation to learn how to configure the template’s features and the database (Parse Dashboard).
• Keep an eye to the Change Log on the bottom of this page when an update gets released.

Requirements

The latest official version of Xcode – Beta versions of an IDE usually never work 100% properly, and the code of this app has been written using the latest official version of Xcode and you can download it from the Mac App Store. You must use it and avoid Betas.

An Apple Mac computer, updated to its latest OS version – It’s always good to keep your macOS up to date, technology keeps growing and I follow its changes, as well as updating my templates every time a new OS gets released.

An Apple Developer Account with an active iOS Development Program – This is needed for you to publish apps on the iTunes App Store. You can still edit this template on code without that account, but you won’t be able to run it on your real iOS device since you’ll need a Team ID.

Basic knowledge of Xcode and Swift language – You don’t need to be a skilled or professional developer, anyway it’s recommended to have at least the basic knowledge of what you’re dealing with, in order to be able to customize this template and publish your applications on the App Store.

A free account on back4app.com – You can create and edit your Parse App and database, get the necessary keys for configurations and test this template for free. It has limitations though, so please check the Pricing table and consider subscribing for a paid plan after your app got published on the App Store.

An active AdMob account – Unless you want to remove ads in this app, you need to sign up for an AdMob account to display them.

A real device to test the app before submitting it to the App Store – iOS Simulators may fail during tests, they are not reliable as a real device is, so I strongly recommend you to always run this application on a real phone/tablet. This is also suggested by Apple’s official Guidelines.

Change log

April 28, 2020

- Due to Apple's deprecation about UIWebView, I've updated the following files inside the 'Parse' folder:
    Parse.framework
    ParseFacebookUtilsV4.framework
    Bolts.framework
    FBSDKLoginKit.framework 
    FBSDKCireKit.framework 

- Removed the FBSDKShareKit.framework

** IMPORTANT** - If this is an UPDATE for you, you should perform the following steps:
- Open your old Xcode project and expand the 'Frameworks' folder from the files list menu on the left pane
- Select the framework files mentioned above and the FBSDKShareKit.framework too, right-click and select 'Delete' .-> Move to Trash, so those files will be removed from the 'Parse' folder
- Open the 'Parse' folder inside the updated project folder and copy all its files
- Open the 'Parse' folder inside your old project folder and paste them
- Select those files and drag them inside the 'Frameworks' folder from the files list menu on the left pane in Xcode, and click the 'Finish' button
- Clean the project and run the app, Xcode should give you a few errors:
    'FBSDKGraphRequest' has been renamed to 'GraphRequest'
    Cannot call value of non-function type 'ApplicationDelegate'
    'sharedInstance' has been renamed to 'shared'

So you can easily fix those errors by clicking on their red dots -> Fix button. Xcode will perform name changes for you.
Alternatively, you may compare your old 'AppDelegate.swift' and Intro.swift' files to the updated ones and perform the few code updates

April 24, 2020

- Updated the GoogleMobileAds framework files into the 'AdMob' folder:  removed the old .framework files in the 'Frameworks' folder in Xcode and imported the new ones - this should fix the UIWebView warning message from Apple after submitting the app on the App Store

January 17, 2020

- Removed the appleButton View from the Storyboard, because Apple wants apps to use its default 'Apple Sign in Button', no custom and well-designed buttons.

- Edited the Intro.swift file by adding some code to programmatically create the 'Apple Sign in Button' into the 'viewDidLoad()' function, and by replacing:
    @IBAction func appleButt(_ sender: Any) {
with:
    @objc func appleButt() {

- Removed these lines too:
    @IBOutlet weak var appleButton: UIButton!
    appleButton.layer.cornerRadius = 22

January 14, 2020

- Added Apple Sing In button in the Intro controller of the Storyboard 
- Added the 'Sign In with Apple' capability in the Capabilities tab in XCode (YOU SHOULD TO THE SAME ON YOUR OWN IN YOUR PROJECT!)
- Edited the Intro.swift file by adding the Apple Sing In code
- Added an 'apple_icon' ImageSet in the Assets.xcassets folder
- Updated the online Documentation

November 11, 2019

Added this code into the 'Info.plist' file, in order to force Light Mode for the app even when the device is on Dark Mode:
    <key>UIUserInterfaceStyle</key>
    <string>Light</string>

NOTE: You can right-click on the Info.plist file and select 'Open As -> Source Code', then paste that code anywhere 

September 28, 2019

- Removed all frameworks from the 'Embed Frameworks' section of the 'Build Phases' tab
- Removed the code inside the 'Run Script' section (still in Build Phases)
- Replaced the Bolts.framework file with an older version - it's in the Parse folder

In this way, you'll be able to successfully Archive the app and submit your binary to the App Store

September 24, 2019

- Updated to Xcode 11, iOS 13
- Added a 'Launch Screen.storyboard' file to the project and customized it with an ImageView that contains the 'launch_screen' ImageSet - which was added into the 'Assets.xcassets' folder
- Assigned the 'Launch Screen' storyboard file to the 'Launch Screen File' field in the General tab 
- Removed the BrandAssets folder from the Assets.xcassets one
- Removed the row called 'Asset Catalog Compiler Launch Image Name - Brand Assets' from Build Settings
- Added this line of code above all instances of 'present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)' due to iOS 13 new Modal system:
    vc.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen

- Downgraded the Facebook Login, Core and Share SDK frameworks to version 4.38.0, because the new SDK is not ready for iOS 13 yet 

** PLEASE NOTE: You may see a bunch of Buildtime warnings while running the app on your device via Xcode, saying:
"Auto Layout Localization: Views without any layout constraints may clip their content or overlap other views".
 Do not worry about it, just ignore those warnings - they aren't errors - and the app will still work perfectly and the design won't get messed up.

September 18, 2019

- Added the following lines into the 'collectionView: didSelectItemAt indexPath()' function in the 'MyAccount.swift' file, because the app was crashing on selecting a wallpaper from the Account screen:

    vc.wallsArray = wallsArray

September 10, 2019

- Replaced the UIWebView with WebKitView in the 'TermsOfService' ViewController in the Storyboard
- Edited the code of the 'TermsOfService.swift' file, since Apple no longer accepts apps with UIWebView

August 19, 2019

- Added left and right arrow buttons in the 'WallEditor' controller in Storyboard and the necessary code to browse next/previous wallpaper in the 'WallEditor.swift', 'Home.swift' and 'Wallpapers.swift' files 

July 20, 2019

- Added a script in the 'Build Phases' tab in Xcode that allows you to upload your Archive to the App Store Connect page (avoiding the ERROR ITMS-90087 issue).

** In order to update your own Xcode project, do the following:
• Download the updated project from your Downloads page
• Enter the Build Phases tab in the updated Xcode project
• Expand the 'Run Script' section and copy the code inside it.
• Open your own Xcode project and enter the 'Build Phases' tab
