Explain MVVM-C architecture and why it is used in large iOS apps
Updated May 6, 2026
Short answer
MVVM-C adds a Coordinator layer to MVVM to manage navigation separately.
Deep explanation
MVVM-C introduces Coordinators to handle navigation logic outside ViewControllers. ViewModels handle business logic, Views handle UI rendering, and Coordinators manage flow. This reduces ViewController complexity and improves reusability and testability. It is especially useful in apps with deep navigation hierarchies.
