Hello,
â
Thanks for downloading our Swift books before. Today, we are officially launching the update of our [Mastering SwiftUI book](=) for Xcode 12 and iOS 14. Along with the release of Xcode 12, Apple released a big update to the SwiftUI framework with a lot of additions. Other than adding new UI components to streamline your UI development, Xcode 12 introduces a new App lifecycle API for SwiftUI. There are no more AppDelegate and SceneDelegate in the project. In other words, you can build a pure SwiftUI-based on iOS 14.
â
All the content and projects of our [Mastering SwiftUI book](=) are updated to use this new lifecycle. You will learn how to handle state management and Core Data with the new life cycle API. In iOS 13, SwiftUI doesnât provide a built-in component for multiline input. The new version of iOS comes with a TextEditor component to handle. This book update also covers its usage and the Personal Finance app are updated to use TextEditor for handling multiline input.
â

â
Animation plays a big role in todayâs mobile apps. The initial release of SwiftUI has already done a great job in simplifying the development of view animation. In iOS 14, the introduction of the matchedGeometryEffect modifier takes the implementation of view animation even further. We have added two new chapters to walk you through this brand new modifier. You will be amazed how easy to create some cool animation.
â
The new SwiftUI framework adds a new component called ScrollViewReader. You can wrap a ScrollView with a reader to scroll the scroll view to a specific position. We have a new chapter to teach you how to use it.
â
When the first version of the book was announced last year, it had about 350 pages. Now the book has over 800 pages! We havenât completed all the updates yet. There are still quite a number of APIs we want to cover. Later this year, we will release another update.
