Since iOS 15, SwiftUI has introduced several new features and improvements. Here are some of the highlights:
-
Custom Containers: SwiftUI now allows for the creation of custom containers, providing more flexibility in how you structure your UI components.
-
Mesh Gradients: A new feature that lets you create beautiful, complex gradients for your UI.
-
Scrolling Customizations: You can now have fine-grained control over scroll views, including reacting to changes in content offsets and sizes. This allows for features like auto-playing videos when they come into view.
-
Custom Animations: SwiftUI now supports setting up animations on UIKit or AppKit views, which can be driven by SwiftUI, including fully custom animations.
-
Improved Interoperability: Gesture recognition has been factored out of UIKit, allowing you to use any built-in or custom UI gesture recognizer in your SwiftUI view hierarchy.
-
Accessibility Enhancements: SwiftUI has added new accessibility features, such as conditional modifier support and app intent-based accessibility actions.
-
Xcode Previews: A new dynamic linking architecture in Xcode Previews allows for a smoother workflow by using the same build artifacts for previews and when you build and run.
-
Text Renderer API: This new API enables advanced visual effects and animations for text.
Here is a simple code example demonstrating the use of mesh gradients in SwiftUI:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
Rectangle()
.fill(
LinearGradient(
gradient: Gradient(colors: [.blue, .purple, .pink]),
startPoint: .topLeading,
endPoint: .bottomTrailing
)
)
.frame(width: 200, height: 200)
}
}
