To set column widths in your app, you can customize the minimum, maximum, and preferred widths of each column using the associated properties of the split view controller. This is particularly useful when you have columns that prefer displaying content at greater widths or only require a fraction of the default width to remain functional. Be cautious not to set a width that limits the number of columns that can be displayed, as this reduces the flexibility of your app. You can find more details on this in the session Make your UIKit app more flexible (05:44).
