An iOS Developer's Guide to SwiftUI

Part 1: Simple Views

In this part, you will be introduced to SwiftUI, the multiplatform UI framework from Apple that allows developers to build user interfaces for all Apple devices. These chapters have been designed for iOS developers in such a way that they guide you through the main concepts of SwiftUI and its practical implementation, offering a concrete base to develop powerful and visually beautiful applications.

You will start to explore the fundamentals of SwiftUI and its declarative syntax to build an intuitive and efficient UI. We’ll cover key concepts, such as views, modifiers, and state management, demonstrating how these components work together to build dynamic layouts.

You will learn to manage data well within SwiftUI, ensuring slick, dynamic user interfaces are produced through bindings, observable objects, and environment values.

This part will teach you how to work with animation and the gesture features of SwiftUI by applying them with a layer of polish and interactivity to your apps. You should reach the end of this section prepared with the knowledge and skills needed to begin using SwiftUI for your iOS development projects, making applications that are not only functional but also visually engaging.

This part contains the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Exploring the Environment – Xcode, Playgrounds, and SwiftUI
  • Chapter 2, Adding Basic UI Elements and Designing Layouts
  • Chapter 3, Adding Interactivity to a SwiftUI View

Description

SwiftUI has transformed app development across Apple Platforms, offering developers the power to build seamless user interfaces by just defining the UI design through intuitive Swift code. This book explores SwiftUI’s revolutionary declarative programming approach to assist you in designing UI for Apple devices, ranging from iPhones to Macs, by declaring what the app should look like and what it should do, leaving the heavy lifting to the operating system. With a hands-on approach, the book immerses you in the fundamentals of SwiftUI and goes on to cover SwiftUI parts that are omitted by most introductory guides. Starting with creating views and modifiers, you’ll progress to more intricate and responsive user interfaces and advanced techniques, gradually working toward building complex apps. Further, this book focuses on the new features in asynchronous programming and architecture patterns to design efficient, modern, and well-structured apps. Finally, you’ll explore the integration of UIkit and SwiftUI and how to run tests for a SwiftUI application. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained the confidence to harness the full potential of SwiftUI to build professional-grade applications.

What you will learn

Get to grips with UI coding across Apple platforms using SwiftUI Build modern apps, delving into complex architecture and asynchronous programming Explore animations, graphics, and user gestures to build responsive UIs Respond to asynchronous events and store and share data the modern way Add advanced features by integrating SwiftUI and UIKit to enhance your apps Gain proficiency in testing and debugging SwiftUI applications

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
