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.

46.4 Running the App

Run the app on a device or simulator and enter a stock symbol and quantity (for example 100 shares of TSLA and 20 GE shares) and click on the Purchase button. Assuming the transaction is successful, select the History tab at the bottom of the screen and confirm that the transactions appear in the list as shown in Figure 46-3:

If the purchased stocks do not appear in the list, switch between the Buy and History screens once more at which point the items should appear (this is a bug in SwiftUI which has been reported to Apple but not yet fixed). Select a transaction from the list to display the Detail screen for that purchase:

With the app installed, configured and running, the next step is to begin integrating shortcut support into the project.
