Exploring the Environment – Xcode, Playgrounds, and SwiftUI

This chapter is an introduction to the tools used when working with SwiftUI, the new, exciting, efficient, and simple-to-use Apple framework for user interfaces (UIs). We’re going to cover the following main topics in this chapter:

  • Exploring Xcode and SwiftUI
  • Creating a multi-platform SwiftUI project
  • Using Swift Playgrounds to test fragments of code
  • Adding tests
  • The App submission process

By the end of this chapter, you will learn how to create a project from scratch. You will also learn how to create a project using the project templates and how to add tests and preview your SwiftUI views code.
