Learn by Doing

Learn by doing is at the heart of our teaching. You can't just read a book and learn coding. You have to fire up Xcode and write code to learn. Our course and books feature a lot of projects and exercises to help you pick up SwiftUI and iOS app development efficiently.
With 60 Hands-on Projects
Each chapter of our book has at least one simple project to work on. Through the projects, you will understand how to work with various types of UI elements and build interactive UIs.
Full Source Code Included
All the projects and source code are available for download. You can use them as a reference. And you're free to use the code in your own projects (personal/commercial).
Lifetime Free Update
Our course materials are always up-to-date. When a new version of SwiftUI or iOS is released, we review and update our content. As a valued customer, you'll get instant access to all updated materials at no extra cost.

Build a Personal Finance App with SwiftUI and Combine

Put together everything you learned about SwiftUI components and build a real world app
Build Complex Layout with Stacks
Combine views with stacks and build the UI you want. Learn how to use VStack, HStack,and ZStack to layout complex UIs.
MVVM with Combine
Learn how to share data between different views with the new Combine framework, trigger UI updates with SwiftUI, and build the app with MVVM.
Animating Views
Animations play a key role in modern mobile apps. SwiftUI made it very easy to animate objects and view transitions. You will learn how to create fluid animated effects with implicit and explicit animations.

Stable Diffusion Mac App and More Sample Projects with the Pro Package

Not only can you use SwiftUI to build iOS apps, you can apply the same knowledge gained from the course to build macOS apps.
The pro package comes with a detailed tutorial and a complete Xcode project, showing you how to build a Mac app with the text-to-image functionality using Stable Diffusion.
The pro package also provides 4 extra Xcode projects including RSS App Template (UIKit), Subscription App Template (UIKit), Photo App Template (SwiftUI), and CMS App Template (SwiftUI).
I can legitimately say that if it wasn't for AppCoda, I don't know if I could have gotten a job as an iOS developer and maintain that job. That is how significant AppCoda has been to my career. You don't need any other books if you're looking to start into iOS.

I tried multiple learning sources including the Stanford training. Although I already did learn some topics like auto layout, delegates, segues, etc through other sources, your book was the first one that really made me understand them!

What People Say About the Book

I am enrolled in several online courses about SwiftUI but I consider your book the best ever for clarity and completeness.
Michele
Gives a good foundation by delivering the basics. Then building on with the advanced items and engineer real applications to show how all the elements work. It is as complete as a book can be and builds confidence, knowledge and skills.
Jean Claude Neerunjun
This book is every bit as good as the books from the "Beginning iOS Programming" collection when it comes to explanation and understanding. By the time writing this review, I finished one third of the book after two days reading and coding its examples. It is amazing how this book trapped me.
Pedro
The concepts of SwiftUI been explained in a smooth and plain way, with great App examples to show how to use those concepts in a real app.
Qiang Ma
After working through the majority of the book but then having an unintentional break before going back to SwiftUI, I found the structure of the book meant I could easily refer back to specific concepts/code that I got stuck on.
Andi Elliott
So far the book has been amazing. Due to work needs, I needed to be as functional as possible in SwiftUI in 2 weeks and this book helped me to have fluency in handling important issues.

Your questions answered

What version of Xcode and iOS do you support?
All the content and source code of the ebooks will support Xcode 16, Swift 6 (or up), and iOS 18. Presently, the Mastering SwiftUI book has been fully updated for iOS 18. The rest of the books will be updated for the latest version of iOS and Xcode by end 2024. Free updates will be available.
Can I pay via PayPal?
Absolutely! After clicking the Buy button, simply select Paypal to proceed with the payment. Alternatively, you can just send the payment in USD to [email protected]. You'll receive a download link of the package within 24 hours. Or simply email us at [email protected] and tell us which package you want to buy.
Can I reuse the source code?
Absolutely! You are allowed to reuse the source code in your own projects (personal/commercial). However, you're not allowed to distribute or sell the source code without prior authorization.
Will I get free update?
Yes! The update applies to all packages. Once you purchase the book, you'll receive free lifetime updates. Whenever Apple releases a new version of SwiftUI, we ensure the book supports the latest Swift and Xcode versions.
Do I need to learn Swift before learning SwiftUI?
Yes, you still need to know the Swift programming language before using SwiftUI. SwiftUI is just a UI framework written in Swift. Our "Beginning iOS Programming with Swift" book can help you get started.
Should I learn SwiftUI or UIKit?
The short answer is Both. That said, it all depends on your goals. If you target to become a professional iOS developer and apply for a job in iOS development, you better equip yourself with knowledge of SwiftUI and UIKit. On the other hand, if you just want to develop an app for your personal or side project, you can develop it entirely using SwiftUI. However, since SwiftUI is very new, it doesn't cover all the UI components that you can find in UIKit. In some cases, you may also need to integrate UIKit with SwiftUI.
How can I get the book updates?
Whenever we update the learning materials, we will send you an email notification with the download instructions.
Still have questions?
No problem! Just send your question to [email protected]. We will do our best to answer them.
