5,982 PointsHardcoded label values in Swift/iOS
When I completed the Android Track, every label value was saved in a central 'dictionary' then referenced. To make them easier to update, allow for localisation, etc.
Through the Swift / iOS course every label has been added directly as a property. Is this best practice? Is there a dictionary alternative like Android?

The best way to do that is via the NSLocalizedString. Just Google that to learn more about it. Apple also has a pretty solid guide on how to get started with localization here:
I hope that helps,

PS: Thanks to the awesome resources on Team Treehouse, I launched my first app.
Now you can practice writing Swift code directly on your iPhone :-)
