iOS App Lifecycle Standards

Priority: P0

Implementation Guidelines

App & Scene Delegate

SceneDelegate: Use for UI windows and scene-specific state in iOS 13+.
AppDelegate: Focus on app-wide setup (DI, Analytics, Push notification registration).
Slim Delegates: Move initialization logic to dedicated Bootstrapper or AppCoordinator.

Deep Linking

Universal Links: Prefer over custom URL schemes. Handle via scene(_:continue:userActivity:).
Handling logic: Routing should be handled by the Root Coordinator to navigate to specific screens.

Background Tasks

Background Fetch: Use BGTaskScheduler for periodically refreshing data.
Expiration: Handle expirationHandler to avoid app kill by the system.

Anti-Patterns

No complex logic in didFinishLaunching: Use a Bootstrapper service.
No UIWindow setup in AppDelegate: Use SceneDelegate for iOS 13+.
No synchronous network calls in launch: Move to background thread.
