SXNews is an iOS news-reading application that closely imitates the Netease (163.com) News app, including news lists, article detail pages, photo sets, weather views, search, and comments. Written in Objective-C, it serves primarily as a reference/learning project demonstrating iOS UI patterns, animations, and app architecture.

Use cases

  • study how a full-featured iOS news app is built in Objective-C
  • learn iOS list, detail, and photoset page implementations
  • reference for iOS animations like swipe-back and weather effects
  • see how to integrate Cocoapods dependencies in an iOS project
  • learn iOS app launch ads and image caching patterns
  • find example code for iOS news search and comment pages

When to choose

  • you are learning iOS development with Objective-C and want a complete real-world app example
  • you want to study UI patterns of a popular Chinese news app
  • you need reference code for news feeds, photo galleries, or weather UI on iOS

When to avoid

  • you need a production news app - the backend APIs are scraped from Netease and may break
  • you need actively maintained code - the project has not been updated since 2018
  • you work in Swift or modern iOS tooling - this is legacy Objective-C with storyboards and xibs
