AppCoda Weekly - Issue #175

By AppCoda Weekly • Issue #175 • View online

I finally managed to create a view animation similar to that of the App Store app using SwiftUI. You can take a look at the demo here. Later next week, we will have the tutorial written up and release another update of our Mastering SwiftUI book. If you’ve owned the book, you will receive the update for free.

This week, we will come up with another macOS tutorial. Gabriel will teach you how to build a note editor and explain what a document-based app is.

As always, hope you enjoy the tutorials! Have fun and talk to you next week.

Regards,

Simon
