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.

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.

As an iOS developer spending most of my time in Xcode, I realized how unproductive I was due to constantly switching back and forth between Xcode, Terminal, Github, and Source Tree. As a result, I decided to dive into Xcode Git integration with Github. Let’s take a look at the Github integrated features and how they can help you become a better and more productive iOS developer.

In this article, I would like to showcase the basics of iOS data persistence with Swift, by presenting a general overview of what’s possible. Data persistence is the mechanism of storing any type of data to disk so that the same data can be retrieved without being altered when the user opens the app next time. While you could save the same data on a server, in this tutorial we are going to describe all the ways to store data locally in iOS apps.

In this article we are going to learn how to implement the powerful MVVM design pattern in SwiftUI applications that are leveraging the Combine framework. The combination of these 3 concepts will be the standard of iOS app architecture for the years to come, so it’s really important to set up a solid groundwork when it comes to designing Swift apps going forward.

UIImage is the Swift approach to modeling images. In order to display an image on the screen, you’re most likely going to use UIImageView, which takes a UIImage object and presents it in the view hierarchy. To color UIImage objects there’s some extra work required. Coloring images can be very helpful when dealing with app icons, tab bar items, navigation items, etc.
