Potential solution

To address the issues with audio files taking too long to download and the changing style not taking effect, we need to implement the missing functionality in the respective files and ensure that the code is optimized for performance and reliability. The solution involves populating the empty files with the necessary code to manage audio downloads efficiently and to apply style changes dynamically across the application.

What is causing this bug?

The bug is likely caused by the absence of implemented logic in the files responsible for handling audio downloads and style management. Since the files NetworkingManager.swift, StyleManager.swift, UIView+Styling.swift, Theme.swift, and AudioPlayerManager.swift are all new and empty, there is no code to handle the downloading of audio files or the application of style changes. Without this code, the application cannot perform these functions correctly, leading to the reported issues.

Code

To solve the bug, the following code snippets and implementations are necessary:

1. NetworkingManager.swift:

   • Implement a method for concurrent audio file downloads with priority for immediate needs.
   • Use a networking library like Alamofire or URLSession for optimized performance.
   • Add a caching mechanism using URLCache or a third-party library to store audio files.

2. StyleManager.swift:

   • Create functions to update and notify about style changes.
   • Implement methods to apply style changes to UI components immediately.

3. UIView+Styling.swift:

   • Write extensions for UIView to update styling dynamically.
   • Ensure all views reflect style changes without needing to reload.

4. Theme.swift:

   • Define theme properties such as color schemes and font styles.
   • Ensure theme changes propagate throughout the app and trigger UI refreshes.

5. AudioPlayerManager.swift:

   • Implement audio player initialization and manage playback states.
   • Optimize playback to minimize delays, possibly with audio data preloading.
   • Add error handling for playback issues and audio session management.

How to replicate the bug

To replicate the bug related to audio files taking too long to download:

1. Attempt to download an audio file within the app.
2. Observe the time taken to start and complete the download.

To replicate the bug related to style changes not taking effect:

1. Change the style or theme settings within the app.
2. Navigate through different parts of the app to see if the new style is applied consistently and immediately.

Task

The task involves implementing the missing functionality in the NetworkingManager.swift, StyleManager.swift, UIView+Styling.swift, Theme.swift, and AudioPlayerManager.swift files. Each file needs to be populated with the appropriate logic to handle its respective responsibilities. After implementation, thorough testing is required to ensure that the issues are resolved and that the app performs as expected.

Changes on QuranMajeed/Utilities/NetworkingManager.swift

As the file QuranMajeed/Utilities/NetworkingManager.swift is indicated to be a new file and contains no source code, there is no direct action to be taken on this file in relation to the bug described in the ticket.

However, since the task associated with this file is to optimize the download method to improve download speeds and implement a caching mechanism, the following steps should be considered for future development:

1. Implement a download method that supports concurrent downloads and prioritizes audio files that are immediately needed.
2. Use a robust library or framework for networking that has been optimized for performance, such as Alamofire or URLSession.
3. Implement a caching mechanism using a library like Cache or by utilizing the native URLCache to store downloaded audio files locally.
4. Ensure that the caching mechanism checks for existing files before initiating a download to prevent unnecessary network requests.
5. Add logic to handle different network conditions and retry failed downloads with exponential backoff.
6. Consider implementing a download progress indicator to provide feedback to the user on the download status.

Since the file is currently empty, these steps are recommendations for when the file is populated with the relevant code to handle networking tasks within the app. If the file remains empty and is not intended to be used, it may be removed from the codebase to avoid confusion.

For the current bug, it's important to look into the other files mentioned in the plan, as they might contain the existing implementation of the download and caching logic that could be causing the issues described by the user.
