Tech Inventory - iOS App

( Interview Assignment - Hive.ai by Chatous Technologies Pvt. Ltd. )

---

---

Tech Inventory (Hive.ai) is a lightweight iOS assignment app for Hive.ai by Chatous Technologies Pvt. Ltd.. It demonstrates a paginated photo grid using UIKit, backed by a simple networking layer with URLSession.

The app fetches images from the public Lorem Picsum API and displays them in a UICollectionView. Tapping an item opens the image’s source URL in an in-app Safari view (SFSafariViewController).

---

✨ Features

• Grid UI: 3-column photo grid with responsive cell sizing
• Pagination: Infinite scrolling (loads next page near the bottom)
• Details: Tap an item to open its source URL in-app
• Loading State: Activity indicator while fetching pages

---

📦 Requirements

• iOS 18.5+ (deployment target in Hive.xcodeproj — change in Xcode if needed)
• Xcode 16.4+ (project created with Tools Version 16.4)
• Swift 5.0
