Create exciting native apps for your Apple devices with Xcode
This book is aimed at developers who want to make applications for Apple devices with Xcode. iOS developers who have experience using other frameworks and languages can now migrate to Xcode and build creative, native apps.
Apple made their iOS devices easy to use and now they have extended that to their development tools such as Xcode. In Xcode, you can create native applications in the easiest way. Apple’s new Xcode technology is making the development curve smoother with its easy-to-develop features and enhancements.
Xcode can now write code with the performance-upgraded, brand new, innovative language called Swift, so you no longer need to rely on third-party frameworks to create applications.
The book gives you a tour of the new features of Xcode 6. It introduces some important aspects such as the Swift language and its Playgrounds with visual live coding, creating interfaces, storyboards, controllers, frameworks, and live previews. Diving more into the subject, this books shows you how to debug your code, and how to build and test the application on a device or the simulator.
