Book Description
SwiftUI Cookbook is a practical guide to building modern iOS apps with SwiftUI. Fully updated for iOS 27, this edition introduces a beginner-friendly structure while retaining the cookbook approach developers love. Starting with the fundamentals of SwiftUI, you'll learn how to create responsive layouts, build reusable views, manage navigation flows, and design interactive forms and lists. You'll then master data flow with the Observation framework, persist data with SwiftData, fetch remote content with async/await, and learn to debug, test, and profile your apps. The book also explores advanced topics such as custom layouts, deep linking, animations, Canvas drawing, Swift Charts, WebView integration, rich text, and Liquid Glass visual effects. Every recipe is built around a focused, practical sample app, with all the code available for download. Whether you are new to SwiftUI or an experienced Apple developer, this book will help you build responsive, visually polished, and production-ready apps using the latest tools and frameworks from Apple.
