To use the new mesh gradient view in UIKit, you can take advantage of the enhanced interoperability between SwiftUI and UIKit introduced in iOS 18. While the specific details for using mesh gradients directly in UIKit were not covered in the provided context, you can use SwiftUI's mesh gradient capabilities within a UIKit app by integrating SwiftUI views.
Here's a general approach to achieve this:
-
Create a SwiftUI View with Mesh Gradient: Use SwiftUI to define a view that utilizes the mesh gradient. You can define the grid of points and their associated colors to create the desired gradient effect.
-
Integrate SwiftUI View in UIKit: Use the
UIHostingControllerto embed the SwiftUI view within your UIKit app. This allows you to leverage SwiftUI's advanced graphics capabilities, including mesh gradients, within a UIKit-based interface.
For more detailed guidance on creating mesh gradients in SwiftUI, you can refer to the session Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI (06:21) which discusses color treatments and mesh gradients in SwiftUI.
