iOS Code Review Concerns and Recommendations | Generated by AI

Home 2025.10

From an iOS engineer’s perspective, here’s a detailed code review with technical concerns and recommendations:

🚨 Architecture & Design Issues

1. Massive View Controller Violation

// This controller handles too many responsibilities:
- Network operations (message sending/receiving)
- Database operations (caching, failed messages)
- Media processing (image/video/audio handling)
- UI configuration and management
- Notification handling
- Business logic for messaging

Recommendation: Split into specialized classes:

2. Tight Coupling with Dependencies

// Direct dependency on LeanCloud framework throughout
@property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) AVIMConversation *conv;
// Mixed with third-party UI framework
[self.shareMenuView reloadData];

Issue: Hard to test, replace, or migrate services.

3. Poor Error Handling

- (BOOL)filterError:(NSError *)error {
    return [self alertError:error] == NO;  // Side effects in validation method
}

- (void)sendImage:(UIImage *)image {
    // Error handling mixed with business logic
    if (error) {
        [self alert:@"write image to file error"];
    }
}

🔧 Memory Management Concerns

1. Retain Cycles & Notification Issues

- (void)dealloc {
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
    // But observer was added in viewDidLoad, not viewWillAppear
    // This can cause crashes if notifications arrive after dealloc
}

Fix:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [self addObservers];
}

- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
    [self removeObservers];
}

2. Thread Safety Issues

@property (atomic, assign) BOOL isLoadingMsg;
// atomic doesn't guarantee thread safety for complex operations

- (void)insertMessage:(AVIMTypedMessage *)message {
    if (self.isLoadingMsg) {
        [self performSelector:@selector(insertMessage:) withObject:message afterDelay:1];
        return;  // Race condition potential
    }
}

📱 UI & Performance Issues

1. Main Thread Blocking

- (void)cacheMsgs:(NSArray *)msgs callback:(AVBooleanResultBlock)callback {
    [self runInGlobalQueue:^{
        for (AVIMTypedMessage *msg in msgs) {
            // File operations on main thread?
            NSData *data = [file getData:&error]; // Blocking call!
        }
    }];
}

2. Inefficient TableView Updates

- (void)insertMessage:(AVIMTypedMessage *)message {
    [self.messages addObject:xhMessage];
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:self.msgs.count -1 inSection:0];
    [self.messageTableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
    // No batching, individual inserts for each message
}

🗂 Code Organization Issues

1. Mixed Abstraction Levels

// Low-level file operations mixed with high-level business logic
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.6);
NSString *path = [[CDChatManager manager] tmpPath];
[imageData writeToFile:path options:NSDataWritingAtomic error:&error];

// Mixed with UI code
[self finishSendMessageWithBubbleMessageType:XHBubbleMessageMediaTypeText];

2. Long Methods

- (XHMessage *)getXHMessageByMsg:(AVIMTypedMessage *)msg {
    // 80+ lines method with multiple responsibilities
    // Message conversion, media handling, status mapping
}

🧪 Testing & Maintainability

1. Untestable Design

// Direct singleton usage prevents dependency injection
[[CDChatManager manager] sendMessage:msg...]
[[CDSoundManager manager] playSendSoundIfNeed]

// Hardcoded dependencies make unit testing impossible

2. Violation of SOLID Principles

1. Extract Service Layer

@interface MessageDataService : NSObject
- (void)sendMessage:(AVIMTypedMessage *)message 
     conversation:(AVIMConversation *)conversation
        completion:(void(^)(BOOL success, NSError *error))completion;
@end

@interface MediaService : NSObject
- (void)processImage:(UIImage *)image completion:(void(^)(NSString *filePath, NSError *error))completion;
@end

2. Use MVVM Architecture

@interface ChatRoomViewModel : NSObject
@property (readonly) NSArray<MessageViewModel *> *messages;
@property (readonly) RACSignal *updateSignal;
- (void)sendTextMessage:(NSString *)text;
@end

3. Implement Proper Data Binding

// Instead of manual table view updates
self.viewModel.updateSignal = [RACObserve(self.viewModel, messages) 
    deliverOnMainThread];
[self.viewModel.updateSignal subscribeNext:^(id x) {
    [self.tableView reloadData];
}];

📊 Immediate Improvements

  1. Extract all network calls to a service layer
  2. Use dependency injection for managers
  3. Implement proper error handling strategy
  4. Add performance monitoring for table view
  5. Create base class for common chat functionality
  6. Add comprehensive unit tests
  7. Use modern concurrency (async/await instead of GCD)
  8. Implement proper memory management with weak references

This code demonstrates common anti-patterns in iOS development and would benefit significantly from modern architectural patterns and better separation of concerns.
