Summary

In this chapter, we've covered a lot about Dark Mode – not only from a programmatic perspective but also the theory behind the appearances and purpose of colors used within our apps.

We started by taking a look at how Xcode and iOS are set up for Dark Mode, learning about the environment overrides used in Xcode, and how we can even switch appearances in our storyboard while developing.

Next, we covered adaptive and semantic colors, and learned not only how these are used with Apple's default system colors but also how we can create dynamic and adaptive color sets ourselves.

Following on from what we learned about color sets, we applied this to images and harnesses the power of the assets catalog.

Finally, we covered some "great to know" topics, such as Dark Mode in SwiftUI, programmatically hailing appearances, and accessibility.

In the next chapter, we'll take a look at lists in iOS 14, covering everything you need to know about UITableViews and UICollectionViews.
