Inspiration
The idea for the Country Tracker app was born out of a personal need to keep track of the time spent in different countries. As someone who frequently travels for work and leisure, I realized how important it is to accurately monitor the days spent in each country for visa requirements, tax residency, and personal records. This need inspired me to create an app that simplifies the process for others in similar situations.
What I Learned
Throughout the development of this app, I gained a deeper understanding of geolocation technologies and the complexities of tracking user movement across borders. I also learned the importance of creating an intuitive user interface that makes the app both functional and easy to use.
How I Built the Project
The project was built using Swift and SwiftUI, with a focus on delivering a seamless user experience. I incorporated background location tracking to automatically log the user’s location, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records. I also added features like photo scanning for location data and the ability to manually input travel details, allowing for flexibility in how users track their journeys.
Challenges I Faced
One of the biggest challenges was ensuring the accuracy of location data, especially in areas with poor GPS signals. Additionally, balancing the app’s functionality with battery efficiency required careful optimization. Another challenge was designing the app to be intuitive for users of all technical levels while maintaining robust tracking features.
