"Integrating SwiftUI into UIKit Apps" book updated for iOS 18 and Xcode 16

I’m excited to announce that my book Integrating SwiftUI into UIKit Apps has been updated to include the latest features from iOS 18 and Xcode 16. This guide is designed to help UIKit developers seamlessly integrate SwiftUI into their existing projects, blending the declarative power of SwiftUI with the flexibility of UIKit.

The book covers everything you need to know to bridge the two frameworks effectively, from embedding SwiftUI views and managing data flow to migrating entire projects to the SwiftUI app lifecycle. It also includes techniques for enhancing apps with modern SwiftUI components like widgets and Swift Charts while maintaining compatibility with your existing UIKit code.

The new edition brings exciting updates. Projects now use the @Observable macro, simplifying data sharing between UIKit and SwiftUI. The book also shows how to work with Xcode’s updated preview system, leveraging the #Preview macro to accelerate UI development and testing. Additionally, there’s a brand new subchapter on using SwiftUI animations to animate UIKit views, a capability introduced with iOS 18.

This book is ideal for developers who want to incrementally adopt SwiftUI without rewriting their entire app. Each chapter includes practical examples and sample projects to help you follow along and implement the techniques in your own work. Whether you’re adding a single SwiftUI view to a UIKit app or planning a full transition, this book has you covered.

If you’re ready to enhance your projects with the latest advancements in SwiftUI, the updated Integrating SwiftUI into UIKit Apps is here to guide you every step of the way. Grab your copy and start building today!
