Oct 2022 - Jan 2024 (16 months)

Cake Affiliate is a dedicated iOS affiliate app stream separated from the legacy admin-focused dashboard, targeting affiliate-specific reporting, insights, and account workflows.

From Oct 2022 to Jan 2024, the project moved from affiliate-app extraction and new API integration into a release-hardened product with multi-account login, generate-link workflows, dashboard modules, and campaign-events capabilities.

Built with: Swift, UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine, CocoaPods, Fastlane, Firebase Crashlytics, Alamofire, SwiftyJSON, ReSwift, ReSwiftThunk, Swinject, SnapKit, Kingfisher, TPKeyboardAvoiding, DZNEmptyDataSet, XCTest, and XCUITest.
