Mastering iOS 14 Programming

Chapter 2: Working with Dark Mode

We all love it…well most of us do anyway, and those who do have been asking for it for a while now too. Apple first took the plunge into Dark Mode with macOS Mojave back in 2018, not only changing the way users interacted with the OS but also paving the way for developers to build native dark-themed apps for the first time.

Dark mode for iPhone wasn't announced until WWDC 2019, but we all knew it was coming, and with everything that AppKit had offered, we knew we were in for a treat with what UIKit would have to offer.

In this chapter, we'll cover everything you need to know to get up and running with dark mode in iOS and iPadOS; everything from taking an existing app and making the necessary adjustments to support dark mode, to all the little hidden extras that we can add in when building our app to ensure we give the user the best possible experience. We'll also touch on best practices too – taking note of the little things we can do that allow Dark Mode in UIKit to make our lives so much easier from the start.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • What is Dark Mode?
  • Working with views in Dark Mode
  • Working with assets
  • Further exploring Dark Mode

Technical requirements

For this chapter, you'll need to download Xcode version 11.4 or above from Apple's App Store.

You'll also need to be running the latest version of macOS (Catalina or above). Simply search for Xcode in the App Store and select and download the latest version. Launch Xcode and follow any additional installation instructions that your system may prompt you with. Once Xcode has fully launched, you're ready to go.

Download the sample code from the following GitHub link: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Mastering-iOS-14-Programming-4th-Edition.

  • Extend your iOS apps by adding augmented reality and machine learning capabilities, widgets, App Clips, Dark Mode, and animations

Description

Mastering iOS 14 development isn’t a straightforward task, but this book can help you do just that. With the help of Swift 5.3, you’ll not only learn how to program for iOS 14 but also be able to write efficient, readable, and maintainable Swift code that reflects industry best practices. This updated fourth edition of the iOS 14 book will help you to build apps and get to grips with real-world app development flow. You’ll find detailed background information and practical examples that will help you get hands-on with using iOS 14's new features. The book also contains examples that highlight the language changes in Swift 5.3. As you advance through the chapters, you'll see how to apply Dark Mode to your app, understand lists and tables, and use animations effectively. You’ll then create your code using generics, protocols, and extensions and focus on using Core Data, before progressing to perform network calls and update your storage and UI with the help of sample projects. Toward the end, you'll make your apps smarter using machine learning, streamline the flow of your code with the Combine framework, and amaze users by using Vision framework and ARKit 4.0 features. By the end of this iOS development book, you’ll be able to build apps that harness advanced techniques and make the best use of iOS 14’s features.

If you're looking to make an iOS app, and you want to learn how to do it properly this is the book with the perfect foundation. It starts with an intro on what's new in IOS 14 and goes over all the advanced and latest concepts like the widgetkit, ARkit, Machine learning, etc in a step-by-step detailed manner. it really spoke to me in a way that was easy to understand.

I really believed I knew how to dev on iOS... Well, I didn't. This book isn't reinventing the wheel. It explains in detail every iOS concept. Perfect fit both for beginners and pros as it will take your hand step by step from the "Idea stage" to "Publishing your app to the AppStore"... Congrats to the authors. I would have maybe appreciated a chapter about iOS & Blockchain but I guess that will come in the next edition ;)
