Technical requirements

You will require a recent Apple computer to run the examples and code in this book. In general, the more RAM and more powerful your system, the better. This book has been tested on an Intel MacBook Pro running macOS 13.6 (Ventura) with 16 GB of RAM. It will work just as fine on a more recent Apple Silicon machine.

To follow this chapter and the rest of the book, you will be required to install Xcode version 15.0 or later.

If you want to run code on a physical device with Xcode 15.0, you will be able to use the async/await pattern in concurrent programming for devices running at least iOS 13. We suggest updating your device to iOS 17 or later to follow this book.

The complete projects and code samples for the examples discussed in the book can be found under the GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/An-iOS-Developer-s-Guide-to-SwiftUI.
