While working on the SwiftUI Chat tutorial, we ran into the issue of handling the keyboard animations by adjusting the layout of all the views visible on the screen, depending on whether the keyboard is visible or not. In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to handle the keyboard animations in SwiftUI with the help of ObservedObject.

In this detailed tutorial, we are taking a look at how you can add and customize an iOS launch screen in your iOS app and why it's important to take your launch screen design seriously. The task itself is not difficult, and I'll assume you are writing your iOS app in Swift, using Xcode.

Note: If you come from an Android/React Native background, you might have used "splash screen" to describe this app starting screen. Apple prefers "Launch Screen", which is what we're going to use in this article.

Hey everyone, in this article, we are going to learn how to build custom reusable components with ViewModifier, and how to create base views with ViewBuilder. These are powerful mechanisms to implement gorgeous design systems that are consistent across the entire app and that encourage code reusability and good architectural patterns.

In this iOS tutorial, we are going to learn how to implement a tab bar in SwiftUI by leveraging TabView. Feel free to skip directly to the source code (at the bottom of the page), if you already know what you're doing.

Hello, welcome back to our SwiftUI tutorials series. In this article, we are going to learn how to use the photo camera and library picker in SwiftUI to take photos within our iOS apps – a feature that nearly every mobile application needs nowadays, especially with the latest iPhone release, that has 3 cameras!

If you’re an iOS developer with advanced skills who has gone through a lot of iOS projects, you will surely know that choosing a suitable design pattern is extremely important. It helps your project run smoothly and become more readable, flexible and reusable. In more than 20 Mobile App Templates, we have carefully considered all the most popular iOS design patterns.

Adding a map to an iOS app is a widely spread feature. Maps make mobile apps more interactive and improve the user experience tremendously. In our mobile app templates, we integrated maps in several apps, such as in the Store Locator, Classifieds App, or Real Estate app. In this MapKit tutorial, we are describing our experience of working with MapKit to help you learn how to add maps to your iOS app in Swift.

Almost any iOS app has a search feature. In fact, all of our functional iOS UI Kits have a search functionality. To this point, we’ve decided to write this Swift tutorial on UISearchController, walking you through building a search feature for your iOS app in Swift. Our app templates have more complex searching logic, since they are hooked to Firebase backend, which is where the searchable data is being retrieved from. For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ve simplified the UISearchController, to simply display a search bar in the navigation bar, by relying on static data, rather than data generated by a server.

Developing an iOS application is all about sending and receiving data between two or more objects. We are using all of these great design patterns (Swift delegates, notifications, closures, KVO) in our iOS Starter Kits to build highly modularized code. In this article we are taking a closer look at each of these popular architectural patterns, discussing their pros and cons as well as showcasing code examples for each of them.

It’s extremely common for a mobile app to support dynamic features such as user management and user-generated content, like social posts, photo uploads, or private messages. To build this functionality, an iOS developer will need a web backend that acts as a central database and serves data to the iOS client. To choose the best backend for your iOS app there are a few things to consider right from the start. Luckily, in most of the cases, the decision is simple: use Firebase.
