To write a "Hello World" app, you can follow these general steps. While the specific context from WWDC doesn't provide a direct tutorial for a "Hello World" app, it does offer insights into app development and user experience which can be useful. Here’s a basic outline to get you started:

  1. Set Up Your Development Environment:

    • Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
    • Open Xcode and create a new project.
  2. Create a New Project:

    • Choose a template for your project. For a simple "Hello World" app, you can select "App" under the iOS tab.
    • Name your project and set the necessary configurations (e.g., language: Swift, user interface: SwiftUI).
  3. Write the Code:

    • Open the ContentView.swift file. This is where you will write the code for your user interface.
    • Replace the default code with the following SwiftUI code to display "Hello, World!":
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, World!")
            .padding()
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}
  1. Run Your App:
    • Select a simulator or connect a physical device.
    • Click the "Run" button (the play icon) in Xcode to build and run your app.
