Result

Able to complete what I set out to do

Successes:

Able to be used in Messages keyboard
Able to use generated images as stickers and images

Caveats:

Ran out of OpenAI tokens + had to cache results

Generated JSON Files
Will end up being slower

Sometimes errors

Problems I Ran Into

Async Functions

DALLE API

Have to await completion of image generation; one async call turns everything async down the line

Ran out of free tokens; had to cache images instead; said I was out of free tokens when I was not

Time Management

Finished first two steps, underestimated how long it would take to combine different parts

General Swift Issues

Syntax, try-catch in everything, Tasks, async, Views, let/var, !/?, errors for everything, putting it all together
