Chapter 6: Financial App – Design
SwiftUI is a fantastic new way to build apps. SwiftUI is excellent on the iPhone and iPad but still has some way to go on the Apple Watch. Building apps for the iPhone and iPad using SwiftUI is most exciting to me. When I think of SwiftUI, I think of a blank canvas, and I can do whatever I want to design beautiful apps. Yes, some things are much harder to do in SwiftUI, but I find if you take the approach of I want to take a storyboard app and move it to SwiftUI, you might struggle a bit. The best approach with SwiftUI is to use all of the things that make SwiftUI great and build from there. Yes, SwiftUI has its flaws, and most things do, especially when they are new, but the more you play with SwiftUI, the more you will see that it is a great tool to use.
In this chapter, we will be working on the following:
- Using SwiftUI to create graphics
- Custom button styles
- Custom forms
