Accelerometer and Location Manager App

Overview

This app utilizes the iOS CoreMotion framework for accessing accelerometer data and the CoreLocation framework for monitoring the user's location in real-time. It displays the following information on the screen:

1. Distance Travelled: Calculates the distance the user has moved in the last three minutes.
2. Real-time Device Movement Data: Displays accelerometer data in real time.

This app is designed to help visualize movement patterns and user location in real time.

Features

• Real-time Accelerometer Data: Captures and updates device movement data on the screen.
• Location Tracking: Continuously monitors the user's location and calculates the distance travelled.
• Real-time Updates: Provides dynamic on-screen updates every few seconds.

Setup Instructions

Prerequisites

• macOS with Xcode installed (version 13 or later recommended).
• iOS device (recommended for real-time accelerometer and GPS testing, as simulators do not support these features effectively).

Steps to Run the App

1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the .xcodeproj file in Xcode.
3. Connect an iOS device to your Mac.
4. Set up the app's signing and capabilities:
   • Go to the Signing & Capabilities tab in Xcode.
   • Add a development team.
5. Build and run the app on your device by clicking the Run button in Xcode.
6. Grant the app permissions for motion and location tracking when prompted.

How It Works

Accelerometer Integration

The app uses the CoreMotion framework to collect real-time accelerometer data. The data is processed to calculate and display:

• X, Y, Z-axis movement values.
• The overall motion trend.

Location Manager

The CoreLocation framework enables location tracking and calculates:

• The total distance travelled by the user within the last three minutes.
• Continuous updates as the user moves.

On-screen Display

The app presents all data visually, updating the UI in real-time for:

1. Device motion data from the accelerometer.
2. Distance metrics calculated from the GPS location.

---

Code Structure

• ViewController.swift: Contains the logic for managing UI updates and integrating accelerometer and location data.
• LocationManager.swift: Handles location updates and calculates the distance travelled.
• MotionManager.swift: Manages accelerometer data collection using CoreMotion.

---

Permissions

This app requires the following permissions to function properly:

• Location Services: To calculate the distance travelled.
• Motion & Fitness: To capture real-time device movement data.

Make sure to enable these permissions in the app settings if they are not granted initially.

Notes

• Testing on a physical device is mandatory to access accelerometer and location data.
• The distance calculation resets after three minutes for continuous tracking.
