Technical requirements

To do the exercises for this chapter, you will need the following:

An Apple Mac computer (Apple Silicon or Intel) running macOS 12 Monterey or macOS 13 Ventura
An Apple ID (if you don’t have one, you will create one in this chapter)
Optionally, an iOS device running iOS 16

The Xcode project for this chapter is in the Chapter01 folder of the code bundle for this book, which can be downloaded here:

Check out the following video to see the code in action:

You’ll start by downloading Xcode, Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) for developing iOS apps from the App Store, in the next section.

The size of the download is very large (7.3 GB at the time of writing) so it may take a while to download. Ensure that you have enough disk space prior to downloading.
