Notifications are crucial for keeping users engaged with your app. Almost all of my apps provide notifications that not only launch the app but also navigate to different parts of the app. Today, I want to share how I build deep links for local notifications in my apps.
The recent version of the SwiftUI framework introduces a trigger value pattern across its APIs. Trigger value allows us to attach a view modifier that runs its action whenever the trigger value changes. You can find this pattern while using sensory feedback or launching keyframe animation in SwiftUI. This week, we will learn how to build custom view modifiers using trigger value pattern.
Swift Concurrency became a vital part of my development stack. I leverage the power of the new Swift Concurrency features like async/await and task groups almost everywhere. SwiftUI Button type doesn’t support Swift Concurrency out of the box, but it is flexible enough to allow us to build a button type supporting Swift Concurrency.
Apple released Swift 5.5 almost three years ago. The main addition to the release was the Swift Concurrency feature. It introduced async and await keywords, allowing us to build concurrent apps in a new way. This week, we will learn how Swift determines where to run your function in a concurrent environment.
The Swift language allows us to define thread-safe types using actors. Actor type automatically manages exclusive access to the data it protects. But what if we need multiple types protected with a mutually exclusive access? That’s why we have global actors, and today, we will learn how to use global actors in Swift.
Another week on a series of posts about discovering Swift packages. This week, we will discover the Swift Async Algorithms package, allowing us to completely switch from the Combine framework to the Swift Concurrency feature with async/await. We will learn what the Swift Async Algorithms package offers to eliminate the Combine framework.
I want to continue the topic of the valuable Swift packages that I use in my apps. This time, we will talk about the Swift Collections package, providing us with a bunch of helpful collection types that Swift language doesn’t include out of the box.
Almost every app I built and supported includes the Swift Algorithms package. However, I noticed that only some developers are familiar with it. Today, we will discover what the Swift Algorithms package offers us to write better, safer code for complex algorithms.
The new Apple Vision Pro device is almost here, and SwiftUI is the best way to build a visionOS app quickly and natively. This week, we will continue the topic of the new SwiftUI APIs that we can use to adapt our apps to visionOS. We will learn about the new user interface component called ornaments.
Apple Vision Pro is coming soon, and it is the perfect time to look at SwiftUI API, which allows us to adapt our apps to the immersive world that visionOS provides us. Apple states that the best way to build an app is with Swift and SwiftUI. This week, we will learn how to use SwiftUI to build a visionOS app.
