Swift and iOS Development Best Practices
The Date type is a Codable type in Swift. However, dates are not straightforward to decode, like other types conforming to the Codable protocol, because the default format used by JSONDecoder is not standard in JSON.
Dates can be encoded using different formats in JSON data. To handle all these formats, the JSONDecoder class has a dateDecodingStrategy property, which can be configured with several decoding strategies according to the date format you must decode.
Since the introduction of SwiftUI, the MVVM pattern has experienced a renaissance. Many developers believe this particular pattern aligns well with the SwiftUI data flow.
MVVM incorporates good ideas but also introduces problems due to varying interpretations of the pattern and its perceived rigidity.
In this article, we’ll explore how MVVM fits into SwiftUI, how to leverage its advantages, and how to navigate its challenges.
Most modern iOS apps need to run code asynchronously. Async functions can be suspended and resumed later, allowing your app to keep its UI responsive while working on long tasks, like making REST API calls. In this article, we will see how to run asynchronous functions in Swift and iOS apps using async/await. Table of … Read more
Becoming an iOS developer is a great career choice that allows you to demand a high salary and work on interesting projects at top companies.
Learning iOS development can take time, but you can speed up the process and optimize your learning following the steps I outline in this article.
You can make a REST API call in Swift in just three lines of code thanks to URLSession and async/await.
However, implementing a networking layer in a full-fledged app presents several architectural pitfalls.
In this article we will see how REST works, how to perform API calls in a SwiftUI app, and the best way to architect the networking layer of an iOS app.
Switch statements are a powerful tool for controlling the flow of your program based on the value of a variable or expression. Although they resemble if-else statements with multiple clauses, switch statements offer several advantages.
The first step to making iOS apps is learning Swift.
But learning a new programming language can be daunting if you approach it for the first time.
Nonetheless, if you follow the right path, learning Swift can be fun and rewarding. Many developers worldwide use Swift because they like to build well-crafted programs.
In this article, I show you the right path to learning Swift.
I won’t only cover the how, but I will also explain why each piece is essential to build the whole puzzle.
