Key benefits

  • Apply the declarative programming paradigm for building cross-platform UIs for Apple devices
  • Learn to integrate UIKit, Core Data, Sign in with Apple, and Firebase with SwiftUI
  • Adopt the new SwiftUI 2.0 features to build visually appealing UIs at speed

Description

SwiftUI is an innovative and simple way to build beautiful user interfaces (UIs) for all Apple platforms, right from iOS and macOS through to watchOS and tvOS, using the Swift programming language. In this recipe-based book, you’ll work with SwiftUI and explore a range of essential techniques and concepts that will help you through the development process. The recipes cover the foundations of SwiftUI as well as the new SwiftUI 2.0 features introduced in iOS 14. Other recipes will help you to make some of the new SwiftUI 2.0 components backward-compatible with iOS 13, such as the Map View or the Sign in with Apple View. The cookbook begins by explaining how to use basic SwiftUI components. Then, you’ll learn the core concepts of UI development such as Views, Controls, Lists, and ScrollViews using practical implementation in Swift. By learning drawings, built-in shapes, and adding animations and transitions, you’ll discover how to add useful features to the SwiftUI. When you’re ready, you’ll understand how to integrate SwiftUI with exciting new components in the Apple development ecosystem, such as Combine for managing events and Core Data for managing app data. Finally, you’ll write iOS, macOS, and watchOS apps while sharing the same SwiftUI codebase. By the end of this SwiftUI book, you'll have discovered a range of simple, direct solutions to common problems found in building SwiftUI apps.

Who is this book for?

This book is for mobile developers who want to learn SwiftUI as well as experienced iOS developers transitioning from UIKit to SwiftUI. The book assumes knowledge of the Swift programming language. Knowledge of object-oriented design and data structures is useful but not necessary.

What you will learn

  • Explore various layout presentations in SwiftUI such as HStack, VStack, LazyHStack, and LazyVGrid
  • Create a cross-platform app for iOS, macOS, and watchOS
  • Get up to speed with drawings in SwiftUI using built-in shapes, custom paths, and polygons
  • Discover modern animation and transition techniques in SwiftUI
  • Add user authentication using Firebase and Sign in with Apple
  • Handle data requests in your app using Core Data
  • Solve the most common SwiftUI problems, such as integrating a MapKit map, unit testing, snapshot testing, and previewing layouts

I've been studying Swift 5 and SwiftUI for a little while now, as a hobby, mostly using Udemy tutorials and a couple of basic books. This particular book, however, is helping me "put it all together" in my mind better than anything I've read or watched so far. The author takes a sort of layered, cyclical approach to topics: you'll see something show up early in the book, with little comment but it's easy to see what it's doing, so when you get to the chapter devoted to that thing you're not starting from total scratch. You also revisit old topics when learning new topics, so things can sink in better. So far I'm on page 165, and can hardly wait to go through the drawing and animation chapters (pp. 198-326). Several chapters follow for working with Combine and Firebase and so on, though I probably won't get to those for several months yet.

Good variety of common topics. As mentioned in the advertising, the book works well for developers transitioning from UIKit to SwiftUI.

Hello, I am an iOS developer so I have experience working in the traditional UIKit framework. Before I talk about the many great things in this book (theres a bunch!) I want to first discuss who its for. I attached an excerpt from the book on who this is for because if you dont know anything about swift it might make the topics within harder to grasp. From what I read so far you dont need mastery of the Swift language, just a basic understanding should get you through it.SwiftUI has a new way of implementing stack views and this book begins by covering that topic. There aren't really storyboards the way you are used to seeing them in xcode which may come as a shock to some users, unless you build your user interface programmatically already. Each chapter will explore new features such as Scroll Views, Container Views, and Alerts.It has a dedicated chapter on Core Data which I found an interesting readThe eBook version has color illustrations, which I appreciate very much and I found the example code presented within the book to be relevant to the topics being covered.If you follow along with the examples in this book you will build a tic-tac-toe game, a cute little progress ring, bar graphs, pie chart, and a lot more.I found swiftUI to be a really unique coding experience and I feel great having this book as a companion.*One last note, you will also need a semi beefy computer to fully utilize the preview mode that shows you what you're coding as you code. Its a great feature but I have seen it bog down my less powerful mac.Overall this book is 5 stars and will set you up right.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
