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.

Watch Project – Fitness Companion Design

In the previous six chapters, we have created various applications for our Apple devices. These chapters taught us how to set up projects for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. They also demonstrated the design differences between small and large displays. In this chapter, we will be designing a fitness companion application for the Apple Watch. Due to the small screen size of the watch, we will need to simplify the design. We will assess the requirements and discuss the design specifications before starting the coding process.

Firstly, we will assess the requirements needed for designing a fitness companion application for the Apple Watch. We will then move on to discussing the design specifications, which will give us a better understanding of what is required and how it will all fit together. This will be followed by the coding process, where we will build the fitness app over the course of these two chapters. This project will cover the...
