To optimize SwiftUI, you can take advantage of several features and techniques discussed in the WWDC sessions:
-
Adaptivity and Previews: SwiftUI automatically provides adaptivity for different modes and accessibility features. Use Xcode previews to quickly see how your views look in different contexts, such as dark mode or right-to-left languages, without running the app repeatedly. This helps you understand how a feature will feel as you build it. SwiftUI essentials
-
Declarative and Compositional Views: SwiftUI's declarative nature allows you to focus on describing the UI you want, while it handles details like dark mode and dynamic type. This approach enables code sharing across devices and platforms. Platforms State of the Union
-
Custom Layouts and Graphics: SwiftUI provides low-level control for creating unique experiences. You can build custom control styles, use canvas for high-performance drawing, and apply custom metal shaders to views. This allows for highly customized and optimized UI components. SwiftUI essentials
-
Platform-Specific APIs: SwiftUI offers specialized APIs for each platform, allowing you to tailor your app's experience to the unique design and interaction patterns of each device. For example, using the digital crown on watchOS or taking advantage of macOS's windowing model. SwiftUI essentials
-
New Graphics and Scrolling Capabilities: SwiftUI introduces new graphics capabilities, such as mixing colors and precompiling shaders to avoid frame drops. It also provides fine-grained control over scroll views, allowing you to react to changes in content size and visibility. What’s new in SwiftUI
