Overview of this book

Mastering iOS 14 development isn’t a straightforward task, but this book can help you do just that. With the help of Swift 5.3, you’ll not only learn how to program for iOS 14 but also be able to write efficient, readable, and maintainable Swift code that reflects industry best practices. This updated fourth edition of the iOS 14 book will help you to build apps and get to grips with real-world app development flow. You’ll find detailed background information and practical examples that will help you get hands-on with using iOS 14's new features. The book also contains examples that highlight the language changes in Swift 5.3. As you advance through the chapters, you'll see how to apply Dark Mode to your app, understand lists and tables, and use animations effectively. You’ll then create your code using generics, protocols, and extensions and focus on using Core Data, before progressing to perform network calls and update your storage and UI with the help of sample projects. Toward the end, you'll make your apps smarter using machine learning, streamline the flow of your code with the Combine framework, and amaze users by using Vision framework and ARKit 4.0 features. By the end of this iOS development book, you’ll be able to build apps that harness advanced techniques and make the best use of iOS 14’s features.

Summary

In this section, we started by creating a brand-new View Controller dedicated to displaying selected user information. We learned about the different types of segues, including navigation-based segues and model-based segues. We were also introduced to creating segues both programmatically and via Interface Builder.

Once we had our connectors all set up, we then started to build our new Detail View Controller, populating it with a contact's information and using the power of UIStackView to lay out our labels and image views.

We finished off by wiring everything together. We performed some best practices and created a custom view model that we can now pass over to our new Detail View Controller via the prepare() override.

In the next chapter, we'll go deep into the use of animations and transitions in iOS as we start to get creative!
