From regular buttons, to tab bar elements, even to our SwiftUI app’s icon, Images are a very important aspect of every mobile device application. In this article we’ll look at how to show images in SwiftUI, and give you several tips, with examples, on how to use those Images in your own apps. In this article any image used was sourced from Pexels, a website that hosts a database of free-to-use and royalty-free images.

In this article we’ll learn about Sheets in SwiftUI. We will explain when, and how, to use them, we’ll explain how they’re created and shown. We’ll also look at a few examples of their usage. Let’s get started!

Logging plays a crucial role in app development. As well as debugging everyday issues with the product, a good logger will monitor application behavior and gain insights into user interactions. This is particularly crucial for iOS developers given the frequency of Apple’s official updates and the ferocious competition in the marketplace.

A sub-discipline of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) focuses on the development of algorithms to build systems capable of learning from, and making decisions based on, data. In iOS development, ML allows us to create applications that can identify patterns and make predictions, adapting a user’s experience by learning from their behaviour.

In the last article, we gave a general introduction to using Swift for backend development. We discussed its advantages: its robustness, stability and, above all, its simplicity. Now we’re going to drill a little deeper, and provide some best practices that will help you in your day-to-day work. Our work today will focus on Vapor, an open-source web framework that provides a robust foundation for websites, APIs and Cloud projects.

Swift is a powerful open source programming language created by Apple in 2014 for the iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, known for its modern syntax, safety features and fast performance. Designed as a successor to Objective C, Swift has become a hugely popular choice for frontend and mobile app development, and it’s also shaping up to be an excellent choice for server-side development.

It might be a cliche, but first impressions really do count. Whether it’s a first date, a job interview or the UI design of your app, looking the part is a massively important consideration. Today we’re going to look at how we can use the SwiftUI Color structure to enhance the visual appeal of our apps and make the right impression on our users.

Our users surprise us every day. They constantly find new and exciting ways to use our apps, and create all kinds of edge cases with their behaviour. As developers, it’s impossible to predict every single edge case. What we can do, however, is train our apps to react, and this is the core of Reactive programming, a development paradigm which has rapidly gained popularity for Swift programmers in recent years.

In Swift, an enum (short for enumeration) is a powerful feature that allows us to define a data type with a fixed set of related values so we can work with those values in a type-safe way within our code. In this article we’ll be taking a closer look at Swift enums and their applications in Swift, as well as providing some real-world examples of how we could deploy them in our builds.
