17.2 Creating a SwiftUI Project

When creating a new project, the project template screen includes options to select how the app project is to be implemented. Options are available to design an app for a specific Apple platform (such as iOS, watchOS, macOS or tvOS), or to create a multiplatform project. Selecting a platform specific option will also provide the choice of creating either a Storyboard (UIKit) or SwiftUI based project.

A multiplatform project allows an app to be designed for multiple Apple platforms with the minimum of platform specific code. Even if you plan to initially only target iOS the multiplatform option is still recommended since it provides the flexibility to make the app available on other platforms in the future without having to restructure the project.

Templates are also available for creating a basic app, a document-based app or a game project. For the purposes of this chapter, use the multiplatform app option:
