The original FoodPin app, which is the demo app of our Beginning iOS Programming with Swift book, was built using UIKit and designed with Interface Builder. In this guide, we will develop the same iOS app but using the SwiftUI framework.

The guide shows you step by step on developing the FoodPin app in SwiftUI. In each chapter, it teaches you how to migrate a feature (or two) from UIKit to SwiftUI. For example, you will learn how to use a List view to replace UITableView. Other than the basics, it also covers some advanced topics like Core Data and CloudKit in SwiftUI.

RSS App Template

----

The RSS app template (Xcode project) is an app skeleton that will help you build a Blog or RSS Reader app easily and quickly. The template is completely written in Swift. It supports Xcode 12 and iOS 12 (or up).

This app template should save you thousands of dollars. To build a similar app like this, it will cost you over $5000 to hire an iOS developer. Even if you know Swift or Objective-C, the app template will save you 100+ hours from building the app from scratch.

With the built-in RSS parser, you just need to add your own RSS feed in a configuration file and can easily turn the template into a blog reader app.

Three beautiful themes included (more are coming). You just need to set a parameter in the configuration file to choose your preferred theme. With a few tweaks, you'll have an app with your own design.

This is the beginner package of the RSS App Template. You're allowed to use the app template in your personal project to build and release one app to the App Store.

To learn more about the app template, check out the official website:

Subscription App Template

-----

Want to keep track of your subscription spendings? This app template is designed for this purpose. We apply MVVM design pattern to build this app. By go through the source code of this app project, you will learn how to apply it to your own project.

iOS App Screenshot Design Guide & Resources for Developers

-----

Writing code is just one of the steps of developing an App. Except designing App interface in the earlier stage, you will need a few beautiful screenshots for submitting the app to App Store. Standard screenshots can already satisfy the requirements of App Store, but beautiful screenshots are definitely more attractive to users.

For developers, how can you ignore the screenshots design when having a beautiful screenshot can boost the download of your App?

You can hire a designer to help you. But what if you are looking for a low-cost option. This design guide and the resource sheet will show you how to create high-quality mockup and screenshots to market your app.

All books include one year free update. That means, you will continue to receive book updates for free for 1 year. The updates include new content and error fixes.
