SwiftUI has revolutionized the way developers create user interfaces for Apple’s platforms. Its declarative API makes it fast and simple to build most common UI designs. However, as applications become more complex, developers may find themselves fighting the system to create truly unique and dynamic interfaces.
In this talk, we covered some of the techniques we’ve used in our projects to achieve custom UI designs. We used animation to add whimsy, implemented custom view alignment, created a new layout container, responded dynamically to user interaction, and improved navigation with custom transitions. With these tools you’ll be able to confidently tackle many types of custom interfaces in your SwiftUI apps.
Requirements:
- iOS 16+
- Xcode 14.3+
Add whimsy with animated profile bubbles.
Align views to a custom vertical postion.
Read and respond to the frames of SwiftUI Views to create a footer label that sticks to the bottom of the screen.
Add a custom animated transition when navigating between screens.
