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.

Mac Project – App Store Bars

In the previous four chapters, we created a tax calculator app for the iPhone and a photo gallery app for the iPad. We implemented them from scratch, looking at the technical requirements, design specifications, wireframes, and code implementation. We will use the skills covered in this and the next chapter to create the App Store sidebar, but worry not: we will go over all necessary aspects in case you have jumped straight to this chapter.

In this chapter, we will work on the design of our third project, an App Store application for the Mac that will showcase its big screen, which also stays in one orientation. We will assess the requirements for designing such an application and discuss the design specifications, allowing us to get a better understanding of what is required and how it will all fit together. Then, we will start our application's coding process to build the sidebars in this chapter, and the next chapter will cover the main...
