SwiftUI in 2024: Bridging Perception and Reality
The document discusses the author's journey in adopting SwiftUI, highlighting challenges such as convincing management to embrace the new framework and managing backward compatibility in a large codebase. It explains SwiftUI's dual nature as both declarative and imperative, emphasizing its accessibility features and the potential for rapid prototyping. Key takeaways include using UIHostingConfiguration, embracing the Composable Architecture (TCA), and considering cross-platform benefits when working with SwiftUI.

- 5. Challenges - Convincing mymanager! When something is working fi ne, why do you want to change it? 🤬 My manager Me Because it is SwiftUI! 🤩
- 6. - Convincing mymanager! - Huge codebase - Backward compatibility challenges Challenges
- 7. Also the biggest challengewas, - The uncertainity
- 9. Our approach - Keepthe changes minimal - Do the necessary research - Be ready to revert changes
- 10. What exactly isSwiftUI?
- 11. The coffee machineanalogy
- 13. SwiftUI always strikesa balance
- 14. Is SwiftUI declarativeor imperative?
- 15.
- 17. Getting started shouldbe easy, but delving deeper should be possible
- 18. SwiftUI’s behaviour across Appleplatforms
- 19.
- 20.
- 21. Write once and runeverywhere Learn once, apply anywhere
- 22.
- 23. Is it justus?
- 24.
- 25.
- 27. What were ouroptions?
- 28. - Ease ofnavigation - Ease of data transfer Our solution should have…
- 29. Well, two solidoptions… - Use SwiftUI with UINavigationController - Use TCA
- 30. The Composable Architecture (TCA)🚀 We chose,
- 31. Pros Cons Handles navigationproperly You will need to unlearn and re-learn concepts Backward compatibility Separation of concerns Easy to learn It should not be applied to every view
- 32.
- 33. Accessibility is afundamental part of any great app
- 34. SwiftUI is designedwith accessibility at its core SwiftUI o ff ers built-in support for a wide range of accessibility features
- 36. Have you everthought of teaching your designer, SwiftUI?
- 37. SwiftUI as adesign tool
- 38. - We alwayshad problems with alignments Challenges which we faced, - The static designs didn’t give information about the behaviour of our UI - Platform speci fi c features were missing
- 39. We decided todesign our watchOS app in SwiftUI !
- 41. The results, Gained adeep understanding of each platform's behavior. Utilized platform-speci fi c features, such as the Digital Crown and its sensitivity Enabled rapid prototyping of our ideas.
- 42. Takeaways, Get started byusing UIHostingCon fi guration to replace UITableViewCells with SwiftUI views Use TCA, it maybe tough in the beginning but you will get used to it Consider other Apple platforms simultaneously Try to use SwiftUI as a design tool
