Tools and first-week setup

The tools a iOS Development intern uses and how to set up your workspace in week one.

These are the main tools for iOS Development tasks. You do not need all of them on day one; the Level 1 tasks tell you when to install each one.

Set up your workspace

Create a free GitHub account if you do not have one, with a professional username, and set up your LinkedIn profile: every task is submitted with a LinkedIn post.
Create one repository for the internship, for example ios-development-swift-internship, with a README that says who you are and what the repo holds.
Keep one folder per task, named with the task number and title, so mentors find your work quickly.
Commit small changes every day with clear messages. Your daily work report uses these commits as proof.
Never commit passwords, API keys or personal data. Put secrets in a .env file and add it to .gitignore.

Task	What to do
Set up Xcode or a Swift playground	Install Xcode (or Swift Playgrounds / an online Swift compiler if you have no Mac) and run your first Swift program. Note your setup in a repo named ios-internship.
Swift basics	Write examples of let/var, optionals, if let, guard, structs, enums and closures.
Collections and functions	Use arrays, dictionaries and sets with map, filter and reduce to solve 5 small problems.
Structs vs classes	Explain value vs reference types with code that proves the difference.
