Building iOS apps with SwiftUI: A tutorial with examples
Blog post from LogRocket
SwiftUI is a cross-platform framework developed by Apple that enables developers to create user interfaces for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS using a declarative approach with the Swift programming language. The framework provides access to views, controls, and layout structures, allowing developers to define UI elements such as text, images, animations, and interactive components. Key layout structures include HStack, VStack, and ZStack, which facilitate horizontal, vertical, and overlay arrangements of views. To demonstrate SwiftUI's capabilities, the guide details the process of creating a simple app using Xcode, showcasing a list of technologies and platforms with interactive elements. SwiftUI promotes streamlined, intuitive app development by leveraging a single codebase across multiple Apple platforms. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of understanding SwiftUI's core concepts and best practices to build effective applications.
