AppCoda Weekly - Issue #242

By AppCoda Weekly • Issue #242 • View online

Just a quick update on our Swift and SwiftUI books. We are hard at work refreshing all the content for iOS 15. Apple’s iPhone 13 launch event is scheduled on September 14. We expect both Xcode 13 and iOS 15 will be officially released later this month.

For the book updates, we will try our best to release the update of the beginners book by early October. This time, we will release two beginner books - one for UIKit and the other for SwiftUI. We will show you how to build the same app with UIKit and SwiftUI. While we will release two separate books, we will keep the price the same.

Stay tuned for the update and enjoy the tutorials. Have a great weekend!

Regards,

Simon
