Building iOS Apps with Swift

In this chapter, we'll be building our very own iOS app using Swift and the Xcode IDE. Once we've built our app, we'll look at how we can incorporate unit tests and user interface (UI) tests. Finally, we'll take a look at backward compatibility in Swift and iOS development.

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

Building an iOS App using Cocoa Touch
Unit and integration testing with XCTest
User interface testing with XCUITest
Backward compatibility

Let's get started!
