Part 2: Intermediate iOS Instagram Clone (SwiftUI, MVVM, Firebase, 2024)

Hello, I'm agmma, a current iOS developer

I started studying development at 31 while doing other work, and I'm currently working hard on iOS development at a subsidiary of one of the major Korean tech companies (Naver, Kakao, Line).

• Started studying development at a bootcamp in early 2020 (age 31)

• Got a job as an entry-level iOS developer at a subsidiary of one of the major Korean tech companies (NAVER, Kakao, LINE, Coupang) at the end of 2021 (age 33)

• Currently working at the same company as of 2025

As someone who started development at the late age of 30s without a technical background, I deeply empathize with the overwhelming feelings and difficulties that those preparing for employment face more than anyone else. I also understand well the efforts of those who are investing their precious time preparing for career transitions in pursuit of continuous growth.

Having spent two years with no income, running solely toward the dream of becoming a developer, I want to provide high-quality lectures at reasonable prices to those walking a similar path.

Although not all of the curriculum has been completed yet, when all the lectures I have planned are released, if you consistently follow my lectures, you will be able to acquire all the knowledge needed as a 1-2 year iOS developer, and I will create them with that sense of responsibility.

Instgram Clone course released!!!!

Many of you have been waiting since the last lecture for MVVM and Firebase-based

I finally released the Instagram Clone course.

Apply MVVM structure to all code

How the MVVM pattern was born, why we use it, and what aspects we need to be careful about when using it, etc.

Learn detailed usage of the MVVM pattern and proceed with coding using this approach.

Apply Firebase to all features

We will create and use a Firebase server together.

(Firebase refers to a very easy server provided by Google.)

You can store post information, photos, user information, etc. that you upload on Instagram in this Firebase and retrieve it from various other devices.

🤔 "AI will do all the development anyway, so do we really need this kind of knowledge?"

📱 "Apps can be made with vibe coding, so wouldn't it be okay not to know this stuff?"

Yes, that's correct. However, this is only possible when AI operates 100% perfectly as people want it to.

However, it is currently impossible for AI to operate perfectly as humans desire.

When actually building apps, even if AI writes code for you, you will inevitably encounter situations that cannot be solved by AI alone.
If you used to face these situations 10 or 100 times before, now it's just reduced to about 1-2 times.

And right at that moment or two, you'll eventually face a situation where you need to directly check and modify the code. What you need then is development knowledge.

✅ To summarize:

1. Even if AI does most of the coding, there will definitely be situations that AI cannot solve

2. At that moment, the only people who could solve the problem were those with development knowledge

Instagram Clone Feature Examples

(All the features captured below are implemented in the course.)

9. All features are implemented through communication with Firebase servers.

All the features shown in the gif above were implemented through communication with Google Firebase servers.

All data changes on iPhone devices are sent to Google Firebase, and the modified information is reloaded on the iPhone device. (↓↓↓ Communication with Firebase ↓↓↓)

You'll learn things like these

Example code divided by lecture

Not just providing the final completed code

We provide segmented lecture code for each individual lesson.

You can easily find the changed parts of the code

Prerequisite Course

I recommend listening to the lectures below and then taking the current lecture.

If you have basic knowledge of Swift and SwiftUI, you can take this course right away, but there may be some challenging parts.

(If you plan to take only this course, please check the syllabus of the course below to verify that you are familiar with the Swift and SwiftUI concepts explained in the lectures.)

Learn iOS for Real Beginners (SwiftUI, SwiftData, 2024)

I worked hard to create lectures that are easy to understand.

I also had my beginner days, and there were difficult times whenever I was learning challenging concepts.

I tried my best to ensure no concepts were omitted from the lecture by recalling the memories from that time.

Even though it was difficult, I tried my best to explain all the code that appears in the lectures.

I minimized copy-pasting code and explain while typing the code together to make it easier for students to understand.

I was so grateful that you understood this part so well in the last lecture too.

In this lecture as well, I have made efforts to serve as a guide for your SwiftUI learning.

(↓↓Reviews of the previous series, Beginner iOS Course↓↓)

I put my heart and soul into ensuring that every concept that appears in the class is explained without exception.

📚 There is an important principle in my lectures.
👉 Every concept that appears in class will definitely be explained.

When I was preparing to become a developer, there were many cases where important concepts were skipped in lectures with the phrase "I'll explain this part later". But when I actually got to the later parts, they often weren't properly covered, and without knowing those concepts, I remember feeling really frustrated because it was hard to understand the following content. 😥

So in my lectures, I put in a tremendous amount of effort to ensure you don't experience that kind of frustration.

• When new concepts appear during the lecture, I will explain them immediately on the spot whenever possible.

• If there are parts that are difficult to understand right now due to lack of prerequisite knowledge, I'll help you get a feel for it first by providing analogies or simple examples.

• And after sufficiently learning the necessary background knowledge in later lectures, we will return to that concept and explain it again.

In the end, as you follow along with the lessons, you won't feel the frustration of "Huh? They said they'd explain this later but just skipped over it?" Instead, you'll be able to understand concepts step by step and thoroughly. ✨

💡 One purchase, yours for life!

As a learner myself, I rarely purchase courses that aren't lifetime access.
That's why I've prepared my courses so that you can revisit them anytime without any enrollment period restrictions.

👨‍💻 Those who have tried development will know this.
It's impossible to perfectly master all concepts with just one course.
Some concepts become yours right away, but other concepts are only fully understood when you actually apply them directly in your own projects.

⏳ But it's practically impossible to apply all concepts right away.
That's why this course is provided as a lifetime collection, so you can come back and learn whenever you need it.

👉 Even parts that are difficult to understand now can be revisited later when you encounter them in projects, turning them into your own knowledge.
In other words, with one purchase, you get a reliable lifetime learning resource that's uniquely yours. 🚀

💸 Refunds are available anytime within 7 days of starting the course.

✅ Refund Information

I have prepared the lectures to ensure student satisfaction, but if the lectures don't meet your expectations, you can apply for a refund without worry. 🙂

⚠️ However, refunds may be difficult in the following cases:

• If you have downloaded the example code

• After course registration, if more than 7 days have passed

• When the course progress exceeds 7%

👉 Therefore, for the initial lectures, we recommend that you take the course first without downloading the example code.

🔗 Check the exact refund policy

Q. Is there a limit on the course enrollment period?

A. No, you can learn for a lifetime with a single purchase.

There are no restrictions on the course duration. All of my lectures have unlimited access so you can review them anytime.

Q. Does it cost money to create a Firebase server?

A. No, all the features used in my lectures are completely free.

Q. Can beginners easily follow along?

A. It may be difficult for those who are learning development for the first time. However, if you first study the Part1: Real Beginner iOS Learning (SwiftUI, SwiftData, 2024) course, this course is structured so that you can fully understand it.
