Building macOS Apps With SwiftUI A Practical Learning Guide

Mixkit: Known for its user-friendly interface, Mixkit provides a vast collection of free video assets, including motion graphics and video templates. While they aren't directly from Videohive, they offer a comparable quality that can be integrated into your projects seamlessly.
Videezy: Videezy offers a variety of free and paid video assets, including After Effects templates. Their extensive library is perfect for those looking to enhance their videos without breaking the bank.
Motion Elements: While Motion Elements primarily focuses on premium content, they regularly feature free downloads that include video templates similar to those found on Videohive. Their search interface allows you to filter out the free options easily.
Editor’s Depot: This site provides free editing tools and templates, ensuring you have access to some elements similar to Videohive offerings. Though the selection might not be as vast, it’s a valuable resource for cost-effective production.
Motion Array: With a solid reputation, Motion Array occasionally offers free downloads that replicate some Videohive elements. Subscribing to their newsletter might help you get alerts about any new freebies available.

Introduced in 2019, SwiftUI is a user interface toolkit that let you create applications with the power of the programming language Swift for all Apple platforms, including iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS.

Before the launch of SwiftUI, developers had to use platform-specific UI frameworks to develop user interfaces, for example, AppKit for macOS apps, TVUIKit for tvOS, and WatchKit for watchOS apps. SwiftUI becomes the one unified UI framework for building user interfaces for all Apple devices.

This book will primarily focus on building macOS apps with SwiftUI, including both coding and releasing apps. Some details for releasing apps on different platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, and WatchOS) may differ, so I believe a single focus on macOS development will bring more clarity and avoid confusion.

This book will also touch upon the basics of SwiftUI, which can be potentially shared for other platforms.

I first published an article on Medium about my playbook for macOS app development, which enabled me to quickly turn ideas into apps and publish them in apps. It received quite a lot of views and shares. This motivated me to write this book with practical examples, so readers who are new to macOS app development can learn, practice, and publish apps hopefully by the end of the book.
