Swift UI - An Interactive UI Framework of Apple is Ready to Rock!

It has been five years since Apple launched Swift. The reason behind the technology innovation was to make iPhone app development faster, easier, and more powerful.

At the WWDC 2019, Apple has unveiled the updates of its latest iOS 13 software. And, Swift UI is one of the advanced technologies that has caught the attention of experts.

It is expected Swift UI drives a paradigm shift the way developers used to create user experiences for iPhone apps. With the arrival of this newest UI framework, the geeks are excited to build compelling UI with less coding and high quality.

Let's start to get insights about every aspect of Swift UI.

What is Swift UI?

Swift UI is a revolutionary and interactive framework for user experience design that iPhone app developers can use to build apps for tvOS, macOS, and iOS. The framework also allows developers to use advanced features of the platform such as touch bar, mouse, trackpad, and more.

It is an integral part of the most popular Swift programming language and enables the developers with advanced APIs and tools to build an iPhone app that is highly compatible across all the Apple products.

Launching Swift UI, Apple has all set to give a tight competition to Google's Flutter UI and React Native. With the Swift programming language and Swift UI, the tech giant has penetrated in the cross-platform technology arena. Thus, iOS developers are taking keep interest in Swift UI and ready to adapt to accelerate the app development cycle.

How Swift UI stands apart?Allows to Build Native Apps

Swift UI is a completely native technology that can access all the native functionality of the to build a highly interactive user interface. It allows iPhone app developers to write code and work more efficiently across all the Apple platforms.

Moreover, the technology delivers a better experience to the users by allowing developers to integrate different APIs such as automatic language optimization, ARkit, and more.

Quick Customization

Customization is quite easy with the Swift UI with Drag and Drop functionality. It allows developers to pick UI elements, drag them on the canvas, customize their properties, and rearrange their controls.

And, do you know what is more interesting?

Most of the visual editors come along with code editors. So it becomes easy for developers to monitor new modifications for every control, though they are writing their code. With this feature, Swift can compete with other technologies like Python and empower the programming language Objective C.

Multiple Previews on Different Devices

Another advantage of considering Swift UI is, it allows developers to create multiple previews of their design and review each of them in different iOS devices having different resolutions. This allows developers to experiment with the app font, layout, colors, and product.

Using Swift UI, you can create an app that runs well on varied Apple products like iPad, iPod, tvOS, and Apple Watch.

Save On Development Time & Efforts

Swift UI works on a declarative syntax that makes it quite easy to understand what the interface should do and what code is required to be written to create the decided features and functionality.

Once the developers have everything in a well define the way they are very clear about different design aspects such as color, fonts, alignment, etc. It becomes easy for them to create and maintain UI elements. developers can feel a considerable difference in the maintenance efforts and time consumption while creating varied UI elements, especially the videos.

Additionally, the framework allows developers to select from ready-made effect using a few lines of code. It allows them to manage the development and deployment process quite streamlined, manage the interruptions easily, and improve time to market of the app.

Real-time Code Deployment

Swift UI is compatible with Xcode 11 and allows developers to build and run the iPhone app in real-time. Now the designers can apply the design changes not only in the approximate user interface but also in live applications. Using the dynamic replacement capability of the framework, the Xcode can directly apply the edited code in the live application.

Boosted Security Standards

Using Swift UI, developers can create more secure and simplified user onboarding as they can allow users to login with their respective Apple IDs. They do not need to fill long forms and follow the process of account verification and re-iterating the password.

Additionally, the anti-theft feature can check whether the real human is logging. It prevents users' accounts from hackers and frauds.

Compatible with iOS13 Features

At the WWDC 2019, Apple has introduced a bunch of advanced features in the new software that involves localization, dynamic type, dark mode, and more. The UI framework works well with these features and allows developers to write code on it.

Concluding Lines

Swift UI is one of the technologies that have added value for the iPhone app developers and users by enabling them with a robust user interface along with the intuitive user experience. It simplified the iPhone app development and deployment process for the engineers by enabling them with less coding and real-time code deployment.
