iOS 18 App Development Essentials

This book is a comprehensive guide to developing iOS 18 apps using Xcode 16, Swift 6, and SwiftUI. It is designed for both beginners and experienced programmers, covering all essential aspects of iOS development. The book includes detailed tutorials to help you apply theory to practice and provides access to over 50 online quizzes to test your knowledge and understanding of key topics.

For readers with limited programming experience, the book begins with chapters on the basics of Swift programming and instructions on how to install and use Xcode, before progressing to more advanced topics.

The book follows a modular approach, covering fundamental concepts such as creating custom views, working with layouts and lists, as well as more advanced subjects like Swift structured concurrency, data persistence with SwiftData and Core Data, integration with CloudKit, custom containers, and building Live Activity widgets.

Additional chapters explore topics such as graphics and chart drawing, user interface animations, view transitions, gesture recognition, document-based apps, and how to package and submit your completed app to the App Store.
