by Simon Ng

Learn to build a real world app for iOS from scratch using Swift and SwiftUI. All content and source code support Xcode 14, iOS 16 & Swift 5.7.This book covers everything you need to learn for iOS app development. Remember, Swift is just a programming language. To develop an iOS app, you need to learn far more than that. SwiftUI is an essential UI frameworks you need to learn.With step by step explanation, the book walks you through how you can build complex UI using SwiftUI. On top of the UI frameworks, this book will teach you how to program in Swift, work with Xcode 14 and master the essential APIs provided by the iOS 16 SDK. Most importantly, it takes you every step of the way from an idea to building a real world app on App Store.What You will LearnYou'll first learn the basics of Swift and SwiftUI. Then you'll start to prototype a real world app and build it from scratch. Each chapter you'll learn how to use the iOS APIs to build some features. After going through the whole book, you'll have a real app. During the process, you will learn how to exhibit data in list views, design UI using Stack Views, create animations, work on maps, build an adaptive UI, save data in local database, upload data to iCloud, use TestFlight to arrange beta test, etc.This new book features a lot of hands-on exercises and projects. You will get the opportunities to write code, fix bugs and test your app. Although it involves a lot of work, it will be a rewarding experience. I believe it will allow you to master Swift 5.7, Xcode 14, and iOS 16 programming. Most importantly, you will be able to develop an app and release it on App Store.Who is this book forThis book is written for beginners without any prior programming experience and those who want to learn Swift programming.
