SwiftUI is radically different from UIKit. So in this short book, we will help you build a mental model of how SwiftUI works. We explain the most important concepts in detail, and we follow them up with exercises to give you hands-on experience.SwiftUI is still a young framework, and as such, we don't believe it's appropriate to write a complete reference. Instead, this book focuses on transitioning your way of thinking from the object-oriented style of UIKit to the declarative style of SwiftUI.Thinking in SwiftUI is geared toward readers who are familiar with Swift and who have experience building apps in frameworks like UIKit.

Get to grips with Apple’s new SwiftUI framework for creating robust UIs for iOS and iPadOS using Swift programming Key FeaturesUse SwiftUI for building dynamic apps for Apple devices from scratchUnderstand declarative syntax in cross-platform development and how states work within SwiftUILearn to develop watchOS apps by reusing SwiftUI codeBook Description SwiftUI is the new and powerful interface toolkit that lets you design and build iOS, iPadOS, and macOS apps using declarative syntax.

By the end of this book, you will have learned how to build a cross-device application using the SwiftUI framework and Swift programming. What you will learnExplore the fundamentals of SwiftUI and compare it with existing UI frameworksWrite SwiftUI syntax and understand what should and shouldn't be included in SwiftUI's layerAdd text and images to a SwiftUI view and decorate them using SwiftUI's modifiersCreate basic forms, and use camera and photo library functions to add images to themUnderstand the core concepts of Maps in iOS apps and add a MapView in SwiftUIDesign extensions within your existing apps to run them on watchOSHandle networking calls in SwiftUI to retrieve data from external sourcesWho this book is for This SwiftUI book helps any mobile app developer looking to understand the fundamentals of the new SwiftUI framework along with the benefits of cross-device development. A solid understanding of iOS and macOS app development, along with some knowledge of the Swift programming language, will be beneficial. Basic programming knowledge is essential to grasp the concepts covered in the book effectively.

Learn iOS Programming Using SwiftUI Framework and Xcode KEY FEATURES ● Demonstrates numerous examples using the SwiftUI concepts. ● A step-by-step walkthrough of the lifecycle of an Xcode 13 project. ● Access to SwiftUI development challenges and expert solutions. DESCRIPTION ‘iOS Development with SwiftUI' focuses on teaching and practicing the use of SwiftUI for developing iOS applications that leverage the latest iOS features. To begin, the book covers the fundamentals of SwiftUI and its core functionalities and how to write UI without having to worry much about it. It explains the fundamental Swift syntax, data types, control statements, functions, classes, and structures, as well as methods, protocols, and closures. The book covers expert tips for adding animations with a single line of code, as well as some SwiftUI transitions. Then, through a dissection of an iOS application, it teaches how to create APIs and implement API calls. It also covers widgets, App Clip development, web banner creation, and how the app communicates with the App Clip. The book will help demonstrate how to integrate XCTest into your application for both UI and unit testing and how to write your test case and prepare the application for general use. At the end of the book, you will be able to write an iOS application in SwiftUI and gain some experience to call API or web services using combine. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Learn to use the feature 'Combine' in the application and call various APIs. ● Understand data flow and stacks, including VStack, HStack, and ZStack. ● Understand and practice how to share the data between the app and extensions. ● Work with the latest iOS features such as App Clip and Widgets. ● Become well versed with Xcode 13 and UIKit while using it with SwiftUI. WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR This book caters to SwiftUI developers, iOS developers, and students who want to build good proficiency in the entire process of iOS application development.

Dive into Combine!Writing asynchronous code can be challenging, with a variety of possible interfaces to represent, perform and consume asynchronous work - delegates, notification center, KVO, closures, etc. Juggling all of these different mechanisms can be somewhat overwhelming. Does it have to be this hard? Not anymore!In this book, you'll learn about Combine - Apple's framework to work with asynchronous events in a unified and reactive way that ensures your app is always up to date based on the latest state of its data.Who This Book Is ForThis book is for intermediate iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but who are interested in taking their app and state management to the next level by learning declarative/reactive programming.You'll also enjoy this book if you're interested in SwiftUI, since many of the reactive capabilities keeping your SwiftUI views up-to-date are built on top of Combine.Topics Covered in Combine: Asynchronous Programming With SwiftWhat & Why: Learn what Combine and reactive programming are, the problems they solve and how you can unify all of your asynchronous pieces of work.Operators: Learn how to compose, transform, filter and otherwise manipulate different pieces of asynchronous work using operators.In Practice: Gain knowledge on various topics and techniques you'll leverage when writing your own real-life apps. You'll then practice these techniques with actual hands-on apps and projects.SwiftUI: Discover how Combine is deeply rooted within SwiftUI, providing it with the ability to reactively update its views based on the state of your app.Advanced Combine: Once you've got a handle on the basics, you'll dive into advanced Combine topics such as Error Handling, Schedulers, and Custom Publishers.By the end of this book, you'll be a pro in building full-fledged apps using Combine's various abilities.
