Find practical, logical, and efficient recipes for building
cross-platform apps for iOS 15, macOS, and watchOS using Swift 5.5,
Xcode 13, and SwiftUI 3.0
Key Features:
- Apply the declarative programming paradigm to build cross-platform UIs
for Apple devices
- Learn to integrate UIkit, Core Data, Firebase, and Sign in with Apple
with SwiftUI
- Adopt the new SwiftUI 3.0 features to build visually appealing UIs
speedily
Book Description:
SwiftUI provides an innovative and simple way to build beautiful user
interfaces (UIs) for all Apple platforms, from iOS and macOS through to
watchOS and tvOS, using the Swift programming language. In this
recipe-based cookbook, you'll cover the foundations of SwiftUI as well
as the new SwiftUI 3 features introduced in iOS 15 and explore a range
of essential techniques and concepts that will help you through the
development process.
The cookbook begins by explaining how to use basic SwiftUI components.
Once you've learned the core concepts of UI development, such as Views,
Controls, Lists, and ScrollViews, using practical implementations in
Swift, you'll advance to adding useful features to SwiftUI using
drawings, built-in shapes, animations, and transitions. You'll
understand how to integrate SwiftUI with exciting new components in the
Apple development ecosystem, such as Combine for managing events and
Core Data for managing app data. Finally, you'll write iOS, macOS, and
watchOS apps by sharing the same SwiftUI codebase.
By the end of this SwiftUI book, you'll have discovered a range of
simple, direct solutions to common problems encountered when building
SwiftUI apps.
What You Will Learn:
-
Explore various layout presentations in SwiftUI such as HStack,
VStack, LazyHStack, and LazyVGrid
-
Create widgets to quickly display relevant content at glance
-
Get up to speed with drawings in SwiftUI using built-in shapes, custom
paths, and polygons
-
Discover modern animation and transition techniques in SwiftUI
-
Add user authentication using Firebase and Sign in with Apple
-
Manage concurrency with Combine and async/await in SwiftUI
-
Solve the most common SwiftUI problems, such as integrating a MapKit
map, unit testing, snapshot testing, and previewing layouts
Who this book is for:
This book is for mobile developers who want to learn SwiftUI as well as
experienced iOS developers transitioning from UIkit to SwiftUI. The book
assumes knowledge of the Swift programming language. Knowledge of
object-oriented design and data structures will be useful but not
necessary. You'll also find this book to be a helpful resource if you're
looking for reference material regarding the implementation of various
features in SwiftUI.
