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.

44.16 Adding Supported Activity Types to SiriPhoto

When the intent handler was implemented earlier in the chapter, the NSUserActivity object containing the photo search information was configured with an activity type string. In order for the SiriPhoto app to receive the activity, the type must be declared using the NSUserActivityTypes property in the app’s iOS Info.plist file. Within the project navigator panel, select the Info.plist file located in the iOS folder. Hover the mouse pointer over the last entry in the property list and click on the ‘+’ button to add a new property. In the Key field, enter NSUserActivityTypes and change the Type setting to Array as shown in Figure 44-10:

Click on the ‘+’ button indicated by the arrow above to add a new item to the array. Set the value for Item 0 to com.ebookfrenzy.siriphotointent so that it matches the type assigned to the user activity instance:
