With iOS 18, what can I do? Can I create an app without coding?

With iOS 18, you can take advantage of several new features and improvements to enhance your app development experience. Here are some highlights:

1. UIKit Enhancements: You can adopt new UIKit features, such as improved transitions and animations, updated tab bars, and a new document launch experience. Additionally, you can integrate both UIKit and SwiftUI in your app (What’s new in UIKit).

2. Swiftassist: This is a new companion for all your coding tasks, introduced to help you transform ideas into code using natural language. Swiftassist can answer coding questions, help with experimenting with new APIs, and assist in prototyping (Platforms State of the Union).

3. App Intents Framework: This framework allows you to bring your app’s core features to users through various integrations like shortcuts, widgets, and control center controls. It helps you share a lot of code between these features, making it easier to add functionality to your app (Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents).

4. Customizable Home Screen: App icons and widgets can now appear in light, dark, or tinted versions, providing a consistent visual experience across the home screen. You can customize each version to ensure your app always looks great (Platforms State of the Union).

Regarding creating an app without coding, while iOS 18 introduces tools like Swiftassist to make coding easier and more intuitive, it still requires some level of coding knowledge. Swiftassist can help you with coding tasks and prototyping, but it is not a no-code solution. You will still need to use Xcode and understand Swift or SwiftUI to build your app.
