Requirements

These are the guidelines for what your product does, and which features it requires.

Tech-Stack

Your application must be built using the following tech-stack, which will be discussed during course lectures ¹.

• Kotlin for a programming language.
• Amper or Gradle for build configuration.
• kotlin-test and JUnit for test coverage.
• Jetpack Compose or Compose Multiplatform for user interfaces.
• Navigation3 for navigation.
• Coroutines for concurrency.
• Koin for dependency injection.

Depending on your requirements, you may need additional libraries. Choose from these:

• Supabase for online data storage.
• SQLite and Room API for local data storage.
• Ktor for networking.

Core Requirements

Your application must meet all of these requirements.

1. You must build a graphical application, that follows standards for each selected platform.

2. You must support at least one OS from each category below.

   • Desktop: Windows, macOS, or Linux.
   • Mobile: Android or iOS.

3. Your application must store some portion of its data in a database e.g., recipes for a recipe tracking application, user profile information, or user preferences like choice of theme.

   • If your database is online, you are expected to implement suitable authentication and access control mechanisms.
   • If your database is local, you are expected to follow best-practices for security on that platform.

4. Your application must use Amper or Gradle build configuration, and you will use best-practices for structuring your project/modules.

5. You are expected to implement automated tests for all of your features using the Kotlin test framework. You should demonstrate 75% code coverage by the end of the course.

Features & Functionality

Your application must also deliver functionality that is suitable to the particular problem you are solving.

As part of your project proposal, you will define a user, their problem, and user-stories i.e., problems and expected solutions. This will require you to identify the features that are specific to your application e.g., sorting recipes in a cooking application, display a social feed for other users in a multiuser application.

This list of features will be different for each project but should be sufficient to address all of the functionality that the user might expect.
