Custom hover effects in SwiftUI

Since purchasing Apple Vision Pro, I have been fully immersed in adapting my applications to visionOS. The first thing I noticed on the device was the need to customize hover effects in some views. This week, we will talk about building custom hover effects in SwiftUI.

Typed throws in Swift

Swift was promoted as a type-safe programming language on its very first day, and it is solid and safe in many aspects. The part of type safety that needed to be added was throwing functions. Swift 6.0 introduces typed throws, and we will learn all about them this week.

Tracking geometry changes in SwiftUI

The SwiftUI framework became a mature tool for building apps on all Apple platforms. The recent WWDC introduced missing APIs, adding more value to the framework. One of them is even backward compatible with previous versions of Apple platforms. This week, we will discuss tracking geometry changes of any view in SwiftUI.

Customizing windows in SwiftUI

SwiftUI has become the leading framework for building apps on all Apple platforms. Almost half of these platforms support multiple windows, so we see more APIs allowing us to manipulate windows. This week, we will learn how to customize windows in SwiftUI using new APIs.

Mastering ScrollView in SwiftUI. Scroll Visibility

Another great addition to our scrolling APIs this year is the scroll visibility. Nowadays, you can fetch the list of visible identifiers or quickly check and monitor the view visibility inside a scroll view. This week, we will learn how to use the new onScrollTargetVisibilityChange and onScrollVisibilityChange view modifiers.

Introducing Entry macro in SwiftUI

The Swift macros feature became very popular last year in the community and inside Apple. As a result, the SwiftUI framework introduced a set of macro types that helped us reduce boilerplates in our codebases. This week, we will talk about the Entry macro type.

Mastering ScrollView in SwiftUI. Scroll Phases

This year, the SwiftUI framework introduced several new scrolling APIs, allowing us to track and tune everything in a scroll view. This week, we will discuss monitoring scroll phases in SwiftUI.

Mastering ScrollView in SwiftUI. Scroll Geometry

The ScrollPosition type is all you need to programmatically read or change the scroll position. Still, it doesn’t provide enough information when a user interacts with a scroll view using gestures. SwiftUI solves this problem by introducing the new ScrollGeometry type. This week, we will learn how to use the new onScrollGeometryChange view modifier to monitor scroll geometry.

Mastering ScrollView in SwiftUI. Scroll Offset

WWDC 24 is over, and I decided to start writing posts about new features in the upcoming iteration of the SwiftUI framework. Apple continues filling gaps this year by introducing more granular control over the scroll position. This week, we will learn how to manipulate and read the scroll offset.

What is new in SwiftUI after WWDC 24

WWDC 24 is here, and we have a lot to cover. Every year, SwiftUI matures by introducing more features to catch up with UIKit. This year is no exception. Let’s dive into the new features that the SwiftUI framework introduces.
