Overview of this book

Do you want to create iOS apps with SwiftUI, Xcode 12, and Swift 5.3, and want to publish it on the app store? This book helps you achieve these skills with a step-by-step approach. This course first walks you through the steps necessary to set up an iOS development environment together and introduces Swift Playgrounds to learn and experiment with Swift—specifically, the Swift 5.3 programming language. After establishing key concepts of SwiftUI and project architecture, this course provides 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. One of the more important skills you’ll learn is how to integrate SwiftUI views into existing UIKit-based projects and explain 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. By the end of this course, you will be able to build your own apps for iOS 14 using SwiftUI and publish it on the app store.

A number of parameters for a Photo search intent, on the other hand, are optional. A user might, for example, want to search for photos containing particular people, regardless of the date that the photos were taken.

When working with Siri domains, Siri knows all of the possible parameters for each intent type, and for each parameter Siri will ask the app extension’s intent handler to resolve the parameter via a corresponding method call. If Siri already has a parameter, it will ask the intent handler to verify that the parameter is valid. If Siri does not yet have a value for a parameter it will ask the intent handler if the...
