Key benefits

  • Learn SwiftUI with the help of practical cross-platform development projects
  • Understand the design considerations for building apps for different devices such as Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad using SwiftUI’s latest features
  • Work with advanced SwiftUI layout features, including SF Symbols, SwiftUI grids, and forms in SwiftUI

Description

Released by Apple during WWDC 2019, SwiftUI provides an innovative and exceptionally simple way to build user interfaces for all Apple platforms with the power of Swift. This practical guide involves six real-world projects built from scratch, with two projects each for iPhone, iPad, and watchOS, built using Swift programming and Xcode. Starting with the basics of SwiftUI, you’ll gradually delve into building these projects. You’ll learn the fundamental concepts of SwiftUI by working with views, layouts, and dynamic types. This SwiftUI book will also help you get hands-on with declarative programming for building apps that can run on multiple platforms. Throughout the book, you’ll work on a chart app (watchOS), NBA draft app (watchOS), financial app (iPhone), Tesla form app (iPhone), sports news app (iPad), and shoe point-of-sale system (iPad), which will enable you to understand the core elements of a SwiftUI project. By the end of the book, you’ll have built fully functional projects for multiple platforms and gained the knowledge required to become a professional SwiftUI developer.

Who is this book for?

SwiftUI Projects is intended for anyone who is already comfortable with Swift. We do not cover Swift topics in detail, so you need to be familiar with these already. All of the SwiftUI topics are taught as if this is the first time you've learned them and will gradually get more difficult.

What you will learn

  • Understand the basics of SwiftUI by building an app with watchOS
  • Work with UI elements such as text, lists, and buttons
  • Create a video player in UIKit and import it into SwiftUI
  • Discover how to leverage an API and parse JSON in your app using Combine
  • Structure your app to use Combine and state-driven features
  • Create flexible layouts on iPad

If you want to learn SwiftUI, be it Obj-C master, Swift regular or total noob, this book will get you on the right track to create a bunch of different iOS apps with SwiftUI. Once you master the basics and the concepts through this book you'll be writing your own book. Love the chapters on Core Data and Combine. If you're building apps on your own those two chapters will be incredibly important. They're well written and the code is easily understood and explained.

This book is written for intermediate iOS developers who are proficient with Xcode and Swift 5 and want to learn SwiftUI from scratch. SwiftUI is one of the must have skills to be successful in iOS development. If you do not have iOS development experience, you will not be able to follow the book and should learn Swift first.What I like the most about this book is the novel approach of teaching the SwiftUI framework by building six beautifully designed apps. Most technical books focus on teaching the technology thru sample code or very simple apps. However, in this book, Craig Clayton creates very complex apps from scratch, with very detailed user interfaces. If you code the apps in the book, you will learn SwiftUI and how to integrate this technology with other iOS frameworks to create App Store ready apps.The book follows a gradual approach and, as you progress thru the chapters, the apps and the code get more complex. The code in the book is very accurate and functional. I have spent a few days reading the book and I have downloaded the code from the companion GitHub repository. All the code listed in the book is in the repository. For each chapter in the book, the repository includes design files, a starter project, a completed project and the solutions to the code challenges. I have verified that the completed projects for each chapter build in Xcode without issues.SwiftUI is the core framework taught in this book, but I’d like to give a special mention to the chapter about CloudKit. The author provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure Cloudkit using the CloudKit Dashboard. In the app, there is code to populate the CloudKit database and if you follow all the steps correctly the app will pull the information from iCloud and display it in the app. Very impressive.In summary, this is an excellent book to learn SwiftUI by building real apps. The apps have a very detailed user interface, and the code is very well organized. The book provides detailed explanations of the code and step-by-step guides to configure any extra tools used.I am a professional iOS developer with more than 10 years of development experience. I have contributed to more than 30 published apps in the App Store, some of them with millions of users.Disclaimer: I was contacted by PackT to publish a review of this book, but I did not receive any compensation for it. The opinions are my own.

I've really enjoyed SwiftUI Projects so far. I have been looking for a resource to understand how to use Core Data in my apps (have struggled with it for a while now) and I learned a lot from this book's chapters that build with it. You also get to build apps using Combine. Along with building for iPad and WatchOS, I think this is a solid book for any iOS developer looking to ship some apps, build various layouts in SwiftUI, or learn the new Apple frameworks.

Okay so this is the second book on SwiftUI that I've read through from packt. I have enjoyed their materials so far and Ill go into detail below if you'd like to read why.This is a book with follow along projects, BUT they open with a quick review of the basics (which I needed) and it helps get your feet wet before you dive into a full project.The watch project was a great follow along as I have never built anything for the apple watch before so that was really fun.The second build was a little dry for me but I have to admit it showcased some great features, such as blurring backgrounds when you click certain buttons, and overall good UI/UX info that Ill likely use in my own future app.The financial app was really neat, I liked a lot of the logic that went into it, and man if you expand on the groundwork they lay for you here and tweak some things around I think this would make an impressive demo for your portfolio. This is beyond your classic bootcamp demo app you build, this looks pretty polished imho. Plus it discusses core data which you will want to be familiar with because it has a lot of strengths when you need to sort and filter large collections. Its tough to grasp but I would say the author did a pretty good job at laying it out in chapter 7.One thing missing that I really wish was included was a sample widget app. The new widgets are almost exclusively built on swiftUI and I would have loved to see a widget built out with the same level of polish as these other apps. Overall through really great book and I would recommend this to anyone getting into SwiftUI.

The approach of the book is to walk you through building apps with SwiftUI. It's accessible, and the end result is good. The explanations are clear - you never feel overwhelmed.There are issues with some references in the book - the worst being 3 pages about a view that has been removed from the source code, and from the rest of the book. They're not huge issues, but they're pretty common.The formatting does make it difficult to follow the code at times, but that's pretty common for e-books on a tablet?I like that design isn't an afterthought and the book walks you through from having the assets from a designer and turning it into code.I'd definitely recommend this book, and would love to see another!

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.
