Description

Developing iOS 11 Applications with Swift will teach you how to start an app from scratch, complete your app, and deploy it to the App Store. If you've ever thought about creating your own iPhone App, this course is a good start!

First, you learn how to install XCode9 and review some fundamental concepts of the Swift programming language. Using the new Contacts framework, you will create your own appealing UI and replace the previous framework. You will then create four apps, starting with a simple Apple Watch app. Then comes a Learning English Numbers game with voice responses; you will also learn different ways of storing data on a device using the new Swift4 codable protocols.

Then we create an app that uses the user's location to list surrounding places and finally a communication app with the new codable protocols of Swift 4. Each app will be developed step by step, explaining their concepts and ideas. Finally, you will learn how to deploy apps to the App Store, making them available for download on any device. After completing this course, you will be able to create your own apps by making the most of iOS 11 with Swift.

What you will learn

  • Prepare your environment for iOS 11 development
  • Understand the fundamentals of programming with the Swift 4 programming language
  • Build simple apps and games using Swift
  • Improve UI & UITableView in your apps.
  • Develop a communication app to find an IP location
  • Deploy your app to the App Store
  • Bonus feature: Learn new Frameworks in iOS11.
