Elevate SwiftUI Skills by Building Projects

By: Frahaan Hussain

Overview of this book

Elevate SwiftUI Skills by Building Projects helps you harness the cutting-edge potential of SwiftUI and its innovative and user-friendly approach to crafting user interfaces for Apple platforms with the power of Swift. This book will enhance your UI programming skills with SwiftUI through a project-based methodology, guiding you to create four real-world projects. Starting with a quick recap of Swift and SwiftUI, you’ll gradually develop projects tailored for iPhone, iPad, macOS, and watchOS using Swift and Xcode. You’ll experience SwiftUI’s versatility in action as you build a tax calculator for iPhone and a photo gallery for the iPad, which uses a larger display to enhance the viewing experience. You’ll also create an app store for Mac and, finally, get to grips with the power of SwiftUI for smaller devices such as the Apple Watch by designing a Fitness Companion app. By the end of this book, you'll have built fully functional projects across multiple platforms and gained the expertise needed to excel as a professional SwiftUI developer.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the design of our tax calculator application. We looked at wireframes and broke down each element into SwiftUI components. We then implemented the SwiftUI components to match the design from the wireframes. We also took a look at the requirements for building this application, and the design specifications, which looked at the features a tax calculator app can have. Then, we simplified it to the core features our app will provide. We further advanced in the design specifications with acceptance criteria for what we would like our app to do. We also looked at how external libraries can be integrated to provide additional functionality.

In the next chapter, we’ll take a look at implementing the tax calculation backend functionality and tying the two views together.
