Core OS Layer Core Services Layer Media Layer CoCoa Touch Layer Memory Section A43972 Delta

Aaron Josephs Core OS Layer - Core OS has 6 sections - Accelerate Framework - Core Bluetooth - External Accessory framework - Generic Security Services Framework - Security Framework - System

Core OS Layer Accelerate Framework - Contains interfaces for doing computationally heavy code - DSP, linear algebra and image-based processing - optimized for the hardware in apple devices - not necessarily fast for things like simple multiplication

Core OS Layer Core Bluetooth - This contain the framework for connecting and disconnecting from bluetooth devices - bluetooth is only for low energy - only operates between 160 feet

Core OS Layer External Accessory Framework - this framework is used for communicating with any accessory connected to yours - any accessory connected to an ios device must use at least one command protocol - apps must declare which protocols they support - when an accessory is connected it will open your app if it supports it

Core OS Layer Generic Security Services Framework - offers standard security services - a security framework is also supplied

Core OS Layer Security Framework - use to guarantee security of data of your app - manage certificates, public and private keys and trust policies - supports generation of cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers - supports symmetric encryption

Core OS Layer System - all of ios is built on a UNIX like base - this layer includes the kernel and device drivers - provides c-based interfaces - when writing an app access to the system is restricted - ios has a set of interfaces that allow access to low level features

Core OS Layer System - ios provides c-based interfaces that support these features - POSIX threads, Networking(BSD sockets), File-system access, standard I/O, Bonjour, DNS, Locale information, memory allocation and math computations

Core OS Layer System - responsible for process lifecycles, thread management, I/O, interprocess communication, and thread management

Lin He core services layer The Core Services layer contains the fundamental system services that all application use.

core services layer Key technologies available in the Core Services Layer. Icloud storage Automatic reference counting Block objects Grand central dispatch In-App purchase SQLite

Core Services Layer Icloud storage Write user documents and data to a central location Access those items from all of a user's computers and IOS devices. a. view or edit those documents from any device without having to sync or transfer files.

Core Services Layer Automatic Reference Counting simplifies the process of managing the lifetimes of Objective-C objects. ARC evaluates the lifetime requirements of your objects and automatically inserts the appropriate method calls at compile time.

Core Services Layer Block objects useful as callbacks or in places where you need a way of easily combining both the code to be executed and the associated data. As a replacement for callback functions To implement completion handlers for one-time operations Together with dispatch queues, to

Core services layer Grand Central Dispatch BSD-level technology manage the execution of tasks in your application. combine an asynchronous programming model with a highly optimized core to provide a convenient alternative to threading. Also, provide alternatives for many lowlevel tasks, such as reading and writing file descriptors, implementing timers, etc.

Core Services layer In-App purchase Vend content and services from inside your application. implemented using the Store Kit framework that provides the infrastructure needed. SQLITE embed a lightweight SQL database into application without running a separate remote database server process. create local database files and manage tables and records in those files.

Alex Kleiner CoCoa Touch Layer

Alex Kleiner Purpose of CoCoa Touch Layer This layer contains the key frameworks for actual user and application interactions with the system.

Alex Kleiner CoCoa Touch Layer Breakdown Storyboards Multitasking Printing Data Protection Push Notification Services Local Notification Services Gesture Recognition Standard System View Controllers

Alex Kleiner Story Boards - CoCoa You can use a single storyboard file to store all of your application's view controllers. At Build time contents are loaded separately for better performance.

Alex Kleiner Multitasking - Cocoa Applications are not terminated when switched off. All code and information is stored in memory, but not code is executed in this suspended state.

Alex Kleiner Printing - CoCoa Print jobs are handled by the printing system, which manages the actual printing process.

Alex Kleiner Data Protection When device is locked by the user, an actual encryption key is set. When unlocked, the decryption key for the data is entered as well in the system.

Alex Kleiner Push Notification Services - CoCoa An ability to ios to receive remote triggers from external services to relay a message to the user.

Alex Kleiner Local Notifications - CoCoa Same end-user result as push notifications, however adds the framework on the device itself locally.

Alex Kleiner Gesture Recognition Services - Cocoa Frameworks the recognize multiple-input gestures such as: Tapping Pinching in and out Pan,ing and Dragging Swiping Rotating Long Presses

Alex Kleiner Standard System View Controllers - CoCoa Major Universal System API and Frameworks: Display or edit contact information Create or edit calendar events Compose SMS or Email messages Take a photo Film a video

Sean Kelly - Built around the Linux 2.6 Kernel - Has added features: - Alarm Drivers - Power Management - System Logger - logs events from applications, events, and the system - Writing is optimized to reduce overhead Core OS Layer

Sean Kelly Core OS Layer - Contains drivers for the core features: - Display, Keypad, Camera, WiFi, etc - Contains the power management - Uses user-level wake-locks to determine CPU state

Jie Hui Kuang Applications & Multitasking - Each application is: - a separate process - entitled to own instance of Dalvik VM - Android runtime manages all memory and processes

Memory Management - Processes are not killed even after application is closed - Processes are killed only when necessary

Process Types (high to low) Active - currently interacting with the user Visible - in foreground but not responding to user events Started Service - active in foreground, no UI Background - non-active in foreground, target for kills Empty - remains in memory to make relaunching faster, target for kills

Process Priorities - Application's priority is equal to its highest component - Also depends on interprocess dependencies
