   • The Generic iOS Device destination used for builds will not work for testing.

Todo

If I had more time to work on this project, I would like to add:

• More unit tests, to bring the total test coverage of the project above 90%.
• Snapshot tests, using the SnapshotTesting framework.
• Fully document all the objects used with networking, e.g. HTTPRequest, HTTPResponse, Response.
• Better support for the Increased Contrast accessibility setting, especially for the titles displayed in the SearchView.
• Animated transitions to and from the DetailView.
• A share button in the DetailView for sharing a link to the image being viewed.
• A button in the DetailView to open the image on the Flickr website.
• More debug logging.
  • The networking logic would benefit from more robust logging, as would ViewModel.
