SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

Mobile app package diagram

A mobile app package diagram shows the major modules in an application and how requests cross their boundaries. Presentation contains screens, domain contains use cases, data contains repositories, and network or platform packages hold external concerns. The arrows show direction: a screen invokes a use case, while the repository hides whether data comes from a cache or API. This is a concise way to discuss architecture in a design review before modeling the details of individual types.

CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A mobile team documents the boundaries of an app feature.

Key decisions

  • Separate UI: Screens depend on use cases rather than network clients.
  • Keep domain central: Use cases coordinate application behavior.
  • Isolate data access: Repositories hide cache and API details.
  • Mark platform dependencies: Show push services at the outer boundary.

When to reuse this

Use when explaining a modular mobile architecture to developers and reviewers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why separate domain from data?01
It lets application behavior depend on an abstraction rather than a particular API or storage mechanism.
Can packages contain many classes?02
Yes, but a package diagram usually shows only representative classes or names.
Should UI call the API directly?03
Keeping that dependency behind a use case and repository makes the boundary easier to manage.
