The step-by-step tutorials guide you through key tasks such as persisting data with JSON, creating custom views, and integrating media into your apps. You’ll also discover how to enhance your apps using Apple Intelligence, incorporating machine learning and smart features to create cutting-edge iOS applications. The final chapters focus on crucial aspects of app development, including Swift Testing to ensure your app is robust, and submitting your app to the App Store—demystifying the journey from development to deployment.

60 | This book has been completely revised for iOS 18, macOS 15.0 Sequioa, Xcode 16, and Swift 6. Part 4 of this book also covers the latest technologies introduced by Apple during WWDC 2024, which are SwiftData, SwiftUI, Swift Testing, and Apple Intelligence.
125 |To complete all the exercises in this book, you will need:
126 |To check if your Mac supports macOS 15.0 Sequioa, see this link: https://www.apple.com/my/macos/macos-sequoia-preview/. If your Mac is supported, you can update macOS using Software Update in System Preferences.
131 |To get the latest version of Xcode, you can download it from the Apple App Store. Most of the exercises can be completed without an Apple Developer account and use the iOS Simulator. If you wish to test the app you are developing on an actual iOS device, you will need a free or paid Apple Developer account.
132 |The following chapter requires a paid Apple Developer account: Chapter 27, Testing and Submitting Your App to the App Store. Instructions on how to get a paid Apple Developer account are included.
