iOS Application Development: From First App to Professional

by Shriira Press

A comprehensive, modern guide to building iOS applications — the apps that run on iPhone, iPad, and the broader Apple ecosystem. It teaches the contemporary Apple stack: Swift, declarative UI with SwiftUI, sound app architecture (MVVM with Observation), Swift Concurrency (async/await), local data with SwiftData/Core Data, networking with URLSession and Codable, dependency injection, testing, and publishing on the App Store — carrying you from your first screen to the skills of a working professional.
