Every iOS app should leverage push notifications to boost user engagement and retention. Push notifications are a powerful tool, but implementing them in Swift 5 has been historically tricky since you usually needed a server. If you’re just getting started with your app development, chances are you’re already using Firebase as your backend. That’s great news – implementing push notifications with Firebase in Swift 5 is what we cover in this tutorial. In fact, we’ve followed exactly these steps to add push notifications to our Group Chat app.

Firebase is having great momentum these days. It has gained a lot of traction among mobile developers, who are truly embracing this backend-as-a-service concept. We are using it for all of our iOS app templates. In this Firebase Swift tutorial, you'll learn how to build the login and registration screens that you can find in most of our apps. This is one of the first tutorials on this topic (Firebase Swift tutorials), and we're super excited to make this a wonderful course series. At the end of this Swift Firebase tutorial, we're going to finish these beautiful functional onboarding screens:

Hello everyone, welcome back to our SwiftUI tutorial series. This time, we are going to learn one of the important features of iOS in particular and mobile in general: MapView. With SwiftUI, using a MapView in your app is not as trivial as it used to be. But it is totally possible to use a Map View in SwiftUI, which is what we tackle in this SwiftUI tutorial.

There are many situations when you want to create an UIColor object from a hex color string. In this post, we provide a code sample that will help you convert hex colors to UIColor objects. While generally, you can get away with this by manually converting the hex code to RGB (using an online converter, for example), there are scenarios where your colors are dynamic, so you'll need a utility method that converts the hex code to an RGB color in Swift 5.

In WWDC19, Apple unveiled “Sign In with Apple”, a new way for users to create accounts and sign in into iOS apps. The benefits for using this is that you are getting a two-factor authenticated, secure login system for free. Additionally, it reduces friction in the on boarding flow, which is great in terms of conversion and growth. In this iOS tutorial, we are going to learn how to implement the Sign in with Apple button in Swift.


In this article, we are describing in details how to integrate Apple Pay into an iOS app. We'll code in the latest version of Swift and the code samples are extracted from our beautiful app templates, many of which have built-in support for Apple Pay. Feel free to download them directly, if you want to skip the hassle of learning how to integrate Apple Pay by yourself.

At iOS App Templates, we are building fully coded mobile app templates in Swift, to help startups create their mobile products faster. Part of our mission is to provide highly modularized source code so that developers can easily customize and adapt our code to fit their needs. We are starting a tutorial series on iOS Design Patterns in Swift. In this article, we are going to talk about the adapter pattern, which we widely use in our Xcode projects.

With the release of Swift 5 approaching and Firebase Firestore finally getting out of beta, let's take a look at how the Firebase Facebook Login is implemented in Swift. All of our Swift app templates have Facebook support since it's a widely demanded feature, so let's see how we implemented it.

Building a mobile app used to be a difficult job and only well-versed mobile developers had the ability to do it. But as the mobile development industry evolved over the last few years, the bar for creating an iOS app lowered, and so did the price. Both entrepreneurs and beginners in programming can easily create their own iOS apps now, with minimum coding skills, thanks to a ton of app templates that have emerged as the mobile industry took off. In this article, we are listing the best free iOS app templates of 2025, which you can freely use to create your own app in just a few minutes and with no financial investment. These app templates are also a great way to learn Swift or Objective-C or to just get your hands dirty with the iOS development process.
