The goal of this book is to teach the skills necessary to build iOS 13 applications using SwiftUI, Xcode 11 and the Swift 5 programming language. Beginning with the basics, this book provides an outline of the steps necessary to set up an iOS development environment together with an introduction to the use of Swift Playgrounds to learn and experiment with Swift. The book also includes in depth chapters introducing the Swift 5 programming language including data types, control flow, functions, object-oriented programming, property wrappers and error handling. An introduction to the key concepts of SwiftUI and project architecture is followed by a guided tour of Xcode in SwiftUI development mode. The book also covers the creation of custom SwiftUI views and explains how these views are combined to create user interface layouts including the use of stacks, frames and forms. Other topics covered include data handling using state properties and both observable and environment objects, as are key user interface design concepts such as modifiers, lists, tabbed views, context menus and user interface navigation. The book also includes chapters covering graphics drawing, user interface animation, view transitions and gesture handling. Chapters are also provided explaining how to integrate SwiftUI views into existing UIKit-based projects and explains the integration of UIKit code into SwiftUI. Finally, the book explains how to package up a completed app and upload it to the App Store for publication. Along the way, the topics covered in the book are put into practice through detailed tutorials, the source code for which is also available for download. The aim of this book, therefore, is to teach you the skills necessary to build your own apps for iOS 13 using SwiftUI. Assuming you are ready to download the iOS 13 SDK and Xcode 11 and have an Intel-based Mac you are ready to get started.

When Apple announced Swift at the WWDC, the iOS developer community became excited about the opportunities to improve the way in which they build iOS apps. Swift is a user-friendly language with a smooth learning curve; it is safe, robust, and flexible, and it introduces new ways to solve old problems. Swift by Example is a fast-paced, practical guide that shows you how to develop iOS apps using Swift. Through the development of six different apps, you'll learn how to use either the right feature of the language or the right tool to solve a given problem. By the end of the book you will be able to build well-designed apps, effectively use AutoLayout, and develop a video game.

Advanced Swift takes you through Swift's features, from low-level programming to high-level abstractions. In this book, we'll write about advanced concepts in Swift programming. If you have read the Swift Programming Guide, and want to explore more, this book is for you. Swift is a great language for systems programming, but also lends itself for very high-level programming. We'll explore both high-level topics (for example, programming with generics and protocols), as well as low-level topics (for example, wrapping a C library and string internals).

Develop highly efficient and appealing iOS applications by using the Swift language About This Book Develop a series of applications with Swift using the development kits and new/updated APIs Use the new features of iOS 8 to add new flavor to your applications A hands-on guide with detailed code snippets to aid you in developing powerful Swift applications Who This Book Is For If you are an iOS developer with experience in Objective-C, and wish to develop applications with Swift, then this book is ideal for you. Familiarity with the fundamentals of Swift is an added advantage but not a necessity. What You Will Learn Use playgrounds in Xcode to make the writing of Swift code productive and easy Get acquainted with the advanced features of Swift and make complete use of them in your code Add a new method for authentication to your app using Touch ID Develop health-related apps using HealthKit Take your apps to the next level of performance and capability using Metal Develop applications for wearables using WatchKit Use Notification Center to easily access all your notifications Make your users devices more stylish by using Apple's built-in Quick Type keyboard, instead of the native one In Detail After years of using Objective-C for developing apps for iOS/Mac OS, Apple now offers a new, creative, easy, and innovative programming language for application development, called Swift. Swift makes iOS application development a breeze by offering speed, security and power to your application development process. Swift is easy to learn and has awesome features such as being open source, debugging,interactive playgrounds, error handling model, and so on. Swift has simplified its memory management with Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) and it is compatible with Objective-C. This book has been created to provide you with the information and skills you need to use the new programming language Swift. The book starts with an introduction to Swift and code structure. Following this, you will use playgrounds to become familiar with the language in no time. Then the book takes you through the advanced features offered by Swift and how to use them with your old Objective-C code or projects. You will then learn to use Swift in real projects by covering APIs such as HealthKit, Metal, WatchKit, and Touch ID in each chapter. The book's easy to follow structure ensures you get the best start to developing applications with Swift. Style and approach The book achieves its end goal by dividing its content into two parts. Part 1 will take the readers, who are new to Swift, through its architecture and basics. Part 2 of the book will cover content on application development with Swift.
