Take a complete iOS app from Swift Playground to the App Store, building real features with SwiftUI, MapKit, and SwiftData along the way.

Key Features

Build a complete CATLog app from scratch, applying each concept as you go
Add maps, photos, persistent data, and search to a real iOS application

Most beginners want to build a real app, not work through isolated exercises. SwiftUI for Beginners gets you building from the start, showing you how to create a complete iOS app on iPad using Swift Playground, Swift 6, and SwiftUI.

Starting with the Swift Playground environment and Swift fundamentals, you will design adaptive multi-screen interfaces, build navigation flows, and manage application data. As the app grows, you will add SwiftData for persistent storage, Core Location and MapKit for location-aware features, and Photo Library integration for rich media. You will also build reusable custom views and implement search to improve usability throughout.

By the end of this book, you will have built, tested, and published a complete iOS app to the App Store using SwiftUI, SwiftData, MapKit, and TestFlight.
