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 fitness companion application. We looked at wireframes and broke each element down into SwiftUI components. We then implemented the SwiftUI components to match the design from the wireframes for the current activity screen. We also looked at the requirements and design specifications for building this application, then simplified it to the core features our app will provide.

Next, we designed our fitness companion app by creating wireframes and breaking down each element into SwiftUI components. We implemented these components to match the wireframe design for the current activity screen. We also reviewed the requirements and design specifications for building the app and simplified it to focus on the core features it will provide. There are always features that are nice to have but are inevitably cut from the first release, or what many call the MVP (minimum viable product). This is effectively what we did. It is crucial to...
