Mastering SwiftUI 6 + Swift Programming for iOS 18 - Professional

This professional package provides everything you need to learn SwiftUI, UIKit, and iOS app development. It includes four books: Mastering SwiftUI, Beginning iOS Programming with Swift & SwiftUI, Beginning iOS Programming with Swift & UIKit, and Intermediate iOS Programming with Swift. Additionally, it offers four app templates for your personal or commercial use.

All books will be updated for Xcode 16, iOS 18, and Swift 6. The Mastering SwiftUI and the Beginning iOS 18 with Swift books have already been updated for iOS 18, and the other books will follow with free updates.

This package includes lifetime updates, which means you will receive all book updates for free.

BEGINNER (UIKit + SwiftUI)

------------

This book covers everything you need to learn for iOS app development. Remember, Swift is just a programming language. To develop an iOS app, you need to learn far more than that. SwiftUI and UIKit are the two essential UI frameworks you need to learn. For the beginner book, we provide two editions for the book: UIKit and SwiftUI. Both editions will teach you how to build the same real world app but with different UI frameworks.

On top of the UI frameworks, this book will teach you how to program in Swift, work with Xcode 15 and master the essential APIs of the iOS 17 SDK. Most importantly, it takes you every step of the way from an idea to building a real world app on App Store.

Starting by creating an app prototype, we will build one (or a couple) feature in each chapter. After going through the book, you will end up with a well-designed restaurant app that supports both iPhone and iPad. Of course, it looks great on the brand-new iPhone 15/15 Pro too.

Specially, you will learn in this course:

• Develop apps using SwiftUI and UIKit
• New features of Xcode 16 and Swift 6 Programming
• Playgrounds in Xcode
• Prototyping an app without writing a line of code
• Stack views and Adaptive UI
• MVC, MVVM, and OOP
• Working with Auto Layout, Dynamic Type and Size Classes
• Working with Navigation View
• Table/List view programming
• Table view/List Customization
• Applying Blur Effect using UIVisualEffect
• UIView animations and Image Manipulation
• Working with MapKit
• Accessing Photo Library and Camera
• Using WKWebView and SFSafariViewController to Display Web Pages
• Search bar implementation
• Tab bar integration
• Working with Core Data
• Creating tutorial screens
• Integrating with CloudKit and build a social feature
• Pull to Refresh content
• Localizing Your App into different languages
• Arranging beta test with users using TestFlight
• Submitting your app to App Store
• Adopting Haptic Touch and Context Menus
• Implementing User Notifications in iOS

Full source code and Xcode projects are included in the package.

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 13 and iOS 13 (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.

Photo App Template

-----
This app project shows you how to build a photo app using Unsplash APIs. You will learn how to work with web APIs, retrieve remote images and display them asynchronously.

CMS App Template

---

This app project is a generic CMS app that retrieves remote content from CMS backend. We use AirTable as the CMS backend to store blog articles. You will learn how to work with AirTable’s APIs and load the content remotely. The articles are stored in Markdown format. So, you will also learn how to convert Markdown to HTML and display it in a web view beautifully. Both projects include full source code. You can easily modify the app to suit your own needs.

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.
