macOS App Development: The SwiftUI Way
macOS App Development: The SwiftUI Way
About the Book
This book, based on the newest Xcode 15, will primarily focus on building macOS apps with SwiftUI, covering both coding and releasing apps. Some details for releasing apps on different platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and visionOS) may differ, so a single focus on macOS development aims to bring more clarity and avoid confusion.
The book will also touch upon the basics of SwiftUI, which can potentially be applied to other platforms.
