How To Build a TikTok Clone With SwiftUI
Blog post from Stream
The text is a comprehensive tutorial on building a TikTok clone using SwiftUI and Stream's iOS Video SDK. It guides developers through creating an application structure, implementing a home feed video player, and integrating real-time video capabilities to enable live streaming. The tutorial covers setting up a SwiftUI project in Xcode, configuring privacy settings for camera and microphone access, and using the Stream Video SDK for FaceTime-style video calls and Twitch-like content streaming. Developers are shown how to create various user interface elements, such as looping videos, video feed overlays, and a TikTok-like tab bar, along with implementing live video overlays and recording functionality. The tutorial also explains how to capture a device's camera feed for live video display and how to set up StreamVideo client instances with hard-coded user credentials for development testing. While the tutorial does not include endless scrollable video feeds, it suggests future integration with Stream's Activity Feeds API for enhanced functionality.
