From regular buttons, to tab bar elements, even to our SwiftUI app’s icon, Images are a very important aspect of every mobile device application. In this article we’ll look at how to show images in SwiftUI, and give you several tips, with examples, on how to use those Images in your own apps. In this article any image used was sourced from Pexels, a website that hosts a database of free-to-use and royalty-free images.

In this article we’ll learn about Sheets in SwiftUI. We will explain when, and how, to use them, we’ll explain how they’re created and shown. We’ll also look at a few examples of their usage. Let’s get started!

For iPhone and iPad app development, one of the main aspects is the app’s performance. Performance is about your application not crashing, but also how quickly and smoothly it can carry out its functions when users interact with it. An application whose functions consume a lot of battery life, or an application that doesn’t like to wait too long until it finishes whatever it wants to do, can lead to users uninstalling the app.

Kotlin Generics are a way to use generics in Kotlin that have type parameters specified to their usage. This powerful tool defines code components so that they will work with any data type in a flexible and reusable manner – and the main advantage of Kotlin Generics is how they are statically-typed.

Logging plays a crucial role in app development. As well as debugging everyday issues with the product, a good logger will monitor application behavior and gain insights into user interactions. This is particularly crucial for iOS developers given the frequency of Apple’s official updates and the ferocious competition in the marketplace.

Kotlin was built to replace Java. Or at least, supersede it for a wide range of Android development tasks. Released by JetBrains in 2016, it is designed to address some of Java’s drawbacks and provide a smoother, faster alternative for devs everywhere. So really the question in the title is redundant, right? Kotlin is just better, surely? Well, actually it’s much more nuanced than that.

The relentless rise of ChatGPT and other Large Language Models has brought a major breakthrough in the world of artificial intelligence. With key industry players like Meta, Google, Nvidia and Microsoft competing fiercely to dominate this space, it’s likely we’ve only seen the start of the innovation. Several big companies have made their AI Models and platforms available for the public to use and build on.

Since it was created by Facebook in 2012 and made publicly available in 2015, GarphQL has changed everything about how we fetch data from servers for our front-end apps. Most front-end clients typically use REST APIs to retrieve data from the server, this includes mobile apps for platforms like Android, iOS, and Flutter, as well as JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, and Next. A huge advantage of GraphQL is that it enables front-end clients to request only the API they require.

A sub-discipline of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) focuses on the development of algorithms to build systems capable of learning from, and making decisions based on, data. In iOS development, ML allows us to create applications that can identify patterns and make predictions, adapting a user’s experience by learning from their behaviour.
