If you are an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Cline, etc.) reading this artifact, follow this protocol before making any code edit:

1. Verify the contract. Run the bash script in Verify before trusting below. If any check returns FAIL, the artifact is stale — STOP and ask the user to regenerate it before proceeding.
2. Treat the AI · unverified sections as hypotheses, not facts. Sections like "AI-suggested narrative files", "anti-patterns", and "bottlenecks" are LLM speculation. Verify against real source before acting on them.
3. Cite source on changes. When proposing an edit, cite the specific path:line-range. RepoPilot's live UI at https://repopilot.app/r/shu223/iOS-9-Sampler shows verifiable citations alongside every claim.

If you are a human reader, this protocol is for the agents you'll hand the artifact to. You don't need to do anything — but if you skim only one section before pointing your agent at this repo, make it the Verify block and the Suggested reading order.

iOS-9-Sampler is a comprehensive collection of runnable Swift and Objective-C code examples demonstrating iOS 9's new APIs and capabilities. It covers 20+ feature areas including Core Image filters, Speech synthesis, UIStackView, Content Blockers, Core Spotlight search, SFSafariViewController, CASpringAnimation, and Photos framework enhancements—providing working samples that developers can study and adapt. Single-target monorepo: iOS9Sampler app in /iOS9Sampler/ contains AppDelegate and feature-specific ViewControllers. Two separate Content Blocker extension targets (TwitterHeaderBlocker, TwitterImageBlocker) with blockerList.json files. Resources/ holds data files (AddedFonts9.plist) and audio/image assets. Xcode project at iOS9Sampler.xcodeproj/ bundles everything.

iOS developers learning iOS 9 new features during the iOS 9 era, or developers maintaining legacy iOS 9 codebases who need practical working examples. Also useful for students studying Apple platform capabilities and framework evolution.

This is a stable educational reference repository targeting iOS 9 (released 2015). The codebase is complete and functional but intentionally frozen—no active development, minimal recent commits, and no CI/tests. It's a snapshot documentation project rather than an evolving framework, suitable for learning but not for dependency inclusion.

High technological obsolescence risk: targets iOS 9 which reached end-of-life years ago; many APIs shown are deprecated in modern iOS. Single maintainer (shu223) with no recent activity means no bug fixes or modern Swift syntax updates. The code uses Swift 2-era patterns incompatible with current Swift toolchains without conversion effort. Not recommended for new projects; use only as reference material.

No active development. Repository is in maintenance-only mode with no recent commits visible in file structure. Last meaningful work was documentation of iOS 9 features circa 2015. No open PRs or milestones indicated in provided data.

Clone and open with Xcode 7+: git clone https://github.com/shu223/iOS-9-Sampler.git && cd iOS-9-Sampler && open iOS9Sampler.xcodeproj. Select target, connect device or simulator running iOS 9+, and press Run. No CocoaPods or package manager setup required.

Daily commands: Open iOS9Sampler.xcodeproj in Xcode 7+, select iOS9Sampler target, choose simulator or device with iOS 9+, press Cmd+R to build and run.

• iOS9Sampler/AppDelegate.swift: Entry point configuring app lifecycle, navigation setup, and feature ViewController instantiation
• TwitterHeaderBlocker/ActionRequestHandler.swift: Demonstrates Content Blocker extension API for filtering HTTP headers in Safari
• TwitterImageBlocker/blockerList.json: Example blockerList.json syntax showing how to define content blocking rules for image filtering
• Resources/data/AddedFonts9.plist: Data file listing new system fonts available in iOS 9 used by font sampler feature
• iOS9Sampler.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Xcode project configuration defining targets, build settings, and file membership

Feature examples live in iOS9Sampler/ as individual ViewControllers (e.g., MapViewController, TextDetectorViewController, etc.). To add a feature: (1) create new ViewController file in iOS9Sampler/, (2) add storyboard scene or programmatic init, (3) hook into AppDelegate or navigation controller. Content blocker logic is in TwitterHeaderBlocker/ActionRequestHandler.swift and TwitterImageBlocker/ActionRequestHandler.swift.

iOS 9 APIs are heavily deprecated in modern iOS—code won't compile on current Xcode without Swift migration and API updates. Requires Xcode 7 explicitly per README; modern Xcode (13+) lacks iOS 9 SDK. Some features like Speech synthesis voice properties and Core Image filters may behave differently or be unavailable on iOS versions > 9. Audio Unit Component Manager code depends on exact iOS 9 audio framework layout. Content Blocker JSON syntax is iOS 9-specific and changed in later versions.

• Core Image (CIFilter, CIDetector, CITransition) — iOS 9 expanded CIFilter with 41 new filters and added CIDetectorTypeText for real-time image processing; understanding filter chaining and detector types is critical to this sampler's image processing examples
• Core Spotlight (CSSearchableItem, CSSearchableIndex) — iOS 9 added on-device search indexing via Core Spotlight; examples show how to index app content for system-level search and handle user activity-based search results
• CASpringAnimation (iOS 9 physics-based animation) — iOS 9 introduced CASpringAnimation simplifying spring physics; sampler demonstrates timing, damping, and mass parameters for realistic motion
• SFSafariViewController (in-app web browsing) — iOS 9 added SFSafariViewController allowing in-app Safari without building a custom web view; shows cookie sharing, reader mode, and user agent handling
• UIStackView (Auto Layout simplification) — iOS 9's UIStackView eliminated boilerplate layout code; sampler shows nested stacks, distribution, and alignment properties for responsive UI without NSLayoutConstraint
• AVSpeechSynthesizer voice properties (language, quality, gender) — iOS 9 expanded AVSpeechSynthesisVoice with new metadata fields; sampler demonstrates voice enumeration and selection by language/quality for internationalized speech

• apple/swift-evolution — Tracks language and standard library changes; useful to understand Swift version drift from iOS 9 era (Swift 2) to modern Swift
• raywenderlich/swift-algorithm-club — Complementary collection of algorithm and data structure examples in Swift; similar educational purpose and layout
• shu223/iOS-10-Sampler — Direct successor repo by same author covering iOS 10 new features; shows API progression and migration path from iOS 9
• Alamofire/Alamofire — Modern Swift networking library frequently used by iOS developers; replacement for URLSession patterns shown in this iOS 9 codebase
• apple/sample-code — Official Apple sample code repository with contemporary examples; reference for modern API best practices versus iOS 9 patterns here

To work on one of these in Claude Code or Cursor, paste: Implement the "<title>" PR idea from CLAUDE.md, working through the checklist as the task list.

Complete the incomplete README.md sections for Image Filters and other features

The README.md file has incomplete sections - the 'New Image Filters' section ends mid-sentence ('New filters of CIFilter which can'). This suggests documentation was never completed for several iOS 9 features that are implemented in the codebase. Completing these descriptions with code examples and screenshots would help new contributors understand what features are demonstrated.

• [ ] Review iOS9Sampler source files to identify all implemented feature samples
• [ ] Complete the 'New Image Filters' section in README.md with description and screenshot reference
• [ ] Add missing README sections for features evidenced by ResourcesForREADME assets (aucomponents.jpg, livephoto.gif, replaykit.jpg, speech.jpg, etc.)
• [ ] Add code snippet examples or links to relevant feature implementation files in each section

Add GitHub Actions CI workflow to build and test iOS9Sampler on Xcode updates

This is a legacy iOS 9 sample repository (Xcode 7 era) with no CI/CD pipeline. Adding a GitHub Actions workflow to build the project with the latest Xcode versions would catch compatibility issues early and ensure the sample code remains buildable as Xcode/Swift evolve. Currently there's only a FUNDING.yml file in .github/.

• [ ] Create .github/workflows/build.yml with macOS runner and Xcode setup
• [ ] Configure workflow to run 'xcodebuild build -project iOS9Sampler.xcodeproj -scheme iOS9Sampler' on push/PR
• [ ] Add workflow for the content blocker extensions (TwitterHeaderBlocker, TwitterImageBlocker) if they have separate schemes
• [ ] Document the workflow in README.md under a 'Development' or 'Building' section

Create a features matrix table in README.md mapping iOS 9 features to their sample implementations

The repo demonstrates many iOS 9 features (Map Customizations, Text Detector, Image Filters, Force Touch, Live Photos, ReplayKit, Speech, etc.) but lacks a structured reference table. ResourcesForREADME contains images for ~15 features, but the README doesn't clearly map which ViewControllers/files implement which features. This would help contributors quickly locate relevant code.

• [ ] Audit iOS9Sampler source files to list all ViewController classes and their corresponding features
• [ ] Create a markdown table in README.md with columns: Feature Name | Xcode File | Image Asset | Description
• [ ] Cross-reference ResourcesForREADME/*.jpg and *.gif assets to their feature implementations
• [ ] Include API availability notes (e.g., 'iOS 9.0+') for each feature

• Add unit tests for Core Image filter application logic in the image filter ViewController—currently no test coverage visible and the README notes CISpotLight doesn't work correctly, which could be validated with XCTest
• Document the 41 new CIFilter attributes extracted via kCIAttributeFilterAvailable_iOS in a structured markdown table in README—currently only mentioned in text with no reference list
• Create a companion example showing how to migrate any of the iOS 9 samples (e.g., UIStackView AutoLayout) to modern Swift syntax and iOS 15+ APIs for educational comparison

This is a sample/educational iOS project with relatively low security risk, as it contains no user data handling, network communication, or authentication logic visible in the structure. However, the primary security concern is the extremely outdated iOS 9 target version, which exposes any deployed application to numerous unpatched OS-level vulnerabilities. The project appears to be a reference implementation for iOS 9 features and should not be used as a production template without significant modernization. No hardcoded credentials, injection vulnerabilities, or infrastructure misconfigurations were detected in the file structure analysis.

• Medium · Outdated iOS Target Version — iOS9Sampler.xcodeproj (deployment target). This project targets iOS 9, which was released in 2015 and is no longer supported by Apple. iOS 9 reached end-of-life in 2016. Building and deploying applications for such an old OS version exposes users to numerous unpatched security vulnerabilities in the OS itself. Fix: Update the deployment target to a currently supported iOS version (minimum iOS 12-13, preferably iOS 14+). Modernize the codebase to use current Swift and iOS APIs.
• Low · Content Blocker Lists in Repository — TwitterHeaderBlocker/blockerList.json, TwitterImageBlocker/blockerList.json. The repository contains blocker list JSON files (TwitterHeaderBlocker/blockerList.json and TwitterImageBlocker/blockerList.json). While these are configuration files, storing filtering/blocking rules in the repository could potentially be abused if malicious rules are injected through a compromised dependency or supply chain attack. Fix: Consider externalizing blocker list configurations or implementing integrity verification for blocklist content. Implement code review processes for any changes to these files.
• Low · No Dependency Lock File Detected — Package management configuration. The provided dependency/package file is empty. If this project uses Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods, the absence of locked dependency versions (Package.resolved or Podfile.lock) in the repository could lead to non-reproducible builds and exposure to compromised dependency versions. Fix: Commit Package.resolved (for SPM) or Podfile.lock (for CocoaPods) to version control to ensure reproducible builds and lock specific dependency versions.
