To design for iOS, you can leverage the insights and techniques shared in various sessions from Apple's WWDC. Here are some key takeaways:
-
SwiftUI for Cross-Platform Design: SwiftUI is a powerful tool for designing apps across Apple's platforms, including iOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It allows you to create interfaces that are familiar to users of Apple devices. For instance, the session "Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI" demonstrates how to use SwiftUI to build media apps with interactive elements like lockups and shelves, which can be adapted for iOS design as well.
-
Document Launch Experience: The session "Evolve your document launch experience" highlights improvements in the document launch experience with iOS 18. This includes a new design for document-based apps, which can enhance the user experience by providing a more intuitive interface for document creation and management.
-
UIKit Enhancements: The session "What’s new in UIKit" introduces new features in UIKit for iOS 18, such as improved transitions, animations, and tab bars. These enhancements can be utilized to create more fluid and engaging user interfaces on iOS.
-
Design Resources: For visionOS, the session "Design great visionOS apps" suggests using Apple's human interface guidelines and design resources like Figma and Sketch kits. While this is specific to visionOS, similar resources are available for iOS to help expedite prototyping and ensure adherence to best practices.
For more detailed guidance on specific design elements or techniques, you might want to explore the sessions mentioned above, such as Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI for insights on creating interactive media app designs.
Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI
SwiftUI helps you build great apps on all Apple platforms and is the preferred toolkit for bringing your content into the living room with tvOS 18. Learn how to use SwiftUI to create familiar layouts and controls from TVMLKit, and get tips and best practices.
What’s new in UIKit
Explore everything new in UIKit, including tab and document launch experiences, transitions, and text and input changes. We’ll also discuss better-than-ever interoperability between UIKit and SwiftUI animations and gestures, as well as general improvements throughout UIKit.
Get started with HealthKit in visionOS
Discover how to use HealthKit to create experiences that take full advantage of the spatial canvas. Learn the capabilities of HealthKit on the platform, find out how to bring an existing iPadOS app to visionOS, and explore the special considerations governing HealthKit during a Guest User session. You’ll also learn ways to use SwiftUI, Swift Charts, and Swift concurrency to craft innovative experiences with HealthKit.
Evolve your document launch experience
Make your document-based app stand out, and bring its unique identity into focus with the new document launch experience. Learn how to leverage the new API to customize the first screen people see when they launch your app. Utilize the new system-provided design, and amend it with custom actions, delightful decorative views, and impressive animations.
Design great visionOS apps
Find out how to create compelling spatial computing apps by embracing immersion, designing for eyes and hands, and taking advantage of depth, scale, and space. We’ll share several examples of great visionOS apps and explore how their designers approached creating new experiences for the platform.
