AngelLive is a cross-platform (iOS, macOS, tvOS) live streaming viewer that aggregates content from multiple Chinese streaming platforms (Bilibili, etc.) via a dynamic plugin system. The application is built entirely in Swift, using SwiftUI for the UI layer with UIKit bridging where needed. Its core architecture revolves around a shared library, AngelLiveCore, which provides a plugin runtime for loading JavaScript-based platform adapters, a custom danmaku (bullet-chat) rendering engine, unified playback recovery with a state machine, and iCloud-based favorite and credential synchronization. The macOS and tvOS targets share the same core but have platform-specific UI components and input handling (e.g., tvOS focus-driven navigation, macOS menu bar and window management). The system is characterized by a high degree of modularity and concurrency: plugins are isolated sandboxed JavaScript runtimes, the danmaku engine uses asynchronous layer rendering and a dedicated shoot scheduler to handle burst traffic, and the playback recovery coordinator implements a tunable ladder of fallback actions (reload, switch CDN, refresh play args) to handle stream stalls. The favorite syncing engine uses `CKSyncEngine` with actor-based concurrency and circuit breakers to avoid retry storms. The codebase also includes a comprehensive test suite covering plugin operation, playback recovery, danmaku connection reconnection, and favorite refresh policies. Key entry points for the iOS app are `AngelLiveApp.swift` and `ContentView.swift`, which manage navigation and deep link handling. The macOS app uses `TabView` with sidebar navigation, and the tvOS app uses a SwiftUI-based sidebar and focusable grid. The developer console (`PluginConsoleView`) provides real-time logging and filtering of plugin calls, which is useful for debugging and extending the platform support. The app supports DLNA casting via SSDP discovery and a local HTTP proxy, and it integrates with AirPlay and Picture-in-Picture. Overall, AngelLive is a well-engineered, production-quality application with a clear separation of concerns, strong test coverage, and a plugin architecture that allows it to adapt to new platforms without modifying the core app. Its design patterns—such as the actor-based credential manager, the state machine for playback recovery, and the modular danmaku engine—are candidates for extraction into other projects.
This repository builds 'WWDC', an unofficial macOS application for browsing, searching, and playing WWDC session videos. It provides a native experience with features like video playback via a custom PlayerUI framework, transcript viewing with full-text search, session scheduling, bookmarks, favorites, iCloud sync via CloudKit, and video downloading. The architecture is modular, comprising main app target with embedded frameworks (PlayerUI, ConfUIFoundation, ConfCore), an XPC service for transcript indexing, and a Swift package for transcript handling. Data flows from Apple's WWDC API through a sync engine into a local Realm database, with UI built using AppKit and SwiftUI, heavy use of Combine for reactive updates, and Sparkle for auto-updates. While primarily an application, it also includes JSON fixtures and test data for transcript processing, giving it a minor hybrid character.
