Finds the closest bike rack to you in the city of Knoxville.
First, make sure you are on the latest iOS version as this application will not work and will crash if you are not on the latest IOS version.
Since this application was built entirely on XCode and the Swift programming language, you will need an iPhone to run this application.
To run a simulation of the application, you will need Xcode. Keep in mind that Xcode will only work on Mac OS.
Download the GitHub Repository and open the project file in the folder labeled Kickstand.xcodeproj. Make sure the other folders are in the same directory before launching XCode with it. From here, you can either deploy it straight onto your iPhone if it is connected to the computer by wire, or you can run a simulation by clicking run simulation. The simulation will create an instance of a working iPhone model with the application installed on the simulated device.
- Open the application.
- If asked for permission to use Location Services, click yes.
- The app will automatically route you to the nearest rack. If you choose to pick a different bike rack, simply tap on a different pin on the map and the app will automatically re-route you to that pin.
- If moved to another location while the map is still open, a new route is not formed.
- Sometimes, on the first time a device opens the application, the route to the closest bike rack is not automatically routed.

- 3/3/2019: ALL brainstormed project ideas. Possibilites were DJ application, Kickstand, or Runescape bot. Selected Kickstand.
- 3/25/2019: Abhi was researching iOS development overview. Develop foundations of the application. Rephael researched possible database opportunities to hold bike rack data. Tyler Helped Abhi figure out the foundations of the application, including handling taps and navigation bars.
- 3/26/2019: Abhi continued to learn swift and develop the foundations of the app including the MapKit library. Jared researched user interface syntax on Swift.
- 3/27/2019: Abhi finalized the foundations of the app and got it running and able to deploy on our iPhones.
- 3/28/2019: ALL put together a simple UI that displays a simple map from Apple Maps.
- 4/9/2019: Tyler researched how to create pin/annotations. Jared started design on the dynamic UI of the application.
- 4/12/2019: Jared started design on the official Kickstand Logo and color scheme of the application. Tyler continued to research the syntax of MapKit's API and how to insert pins.
- 4/16/2019: Abhi developed a working version with the implemntation of MapKit and Google Maps. Tyler got pins to display.
- 4/19/2019: Rephael went around campus and gathered bike rack data. Tyler and Abhi worked on routing logic. Jared finalized the logo and color scheme.
- 4/22/2019: Rephael developed a CSV-to-Swift parser with c++. Developed closest rack algorithm. Abhi and Tyler figured out a working routing to pins/annotations. You can now click on annotations to change route. Jared created icons and buttons for add a new rack.
- 4/24/2019: Jared created splash screen (screen that displays on startup) and fixed input form bugs when trying to add a new rack. Rephael added more bike rack locations around Knoxville. Abhi and Tyler fixed re-centering bug and route not showing bug.
