To get the most out of this book

This book has been completely revised for iOS 18, macOS 15.0 Sequioa, Xcode 16, and Swift 6. Part 4 of this book also covers the latest technologies introduced by Apple during WWDC 2024, which are SwiftData, SwiftUI, Swift Testing, and Apple Intelligence.

To complete all the exercises in this book, you will need:

A Mac computer running macOS 14.0 Sonoma, macOS 15.0 Sequioa, or later
Xcode 16.0 or later

To check if your Mac supports macOS 15.0 Sequioa, see this link: https://www.apple.com/my/macos/macos-sequoia-preview/. If your Mac is supported, you can update macOS using Software Update in System Preferences.

To get the latest version of Xcode, you can download it from the Apple App Store. Most of the exercises can be completed without an Apple Developer account and use the iOS Simulator. If you wish to test the app you are developing on an actual iOS device, you will need a free or paid Apple Developer account.

The following chapter requires a paid Apple Developer account: Chapter 27, Testing and Submitting Your App to the App Store. Instructions on how to get a paid Apple Developer account are included.
