If you’re grounded in the basics of Xcode and the Cocoa framework, this book provides a structured explanation of all essential real-world iOS app components. Through deep exploration and copious code examples, you’ll learn how to create views, manipulate view controllers, and use iOS frameworks for adding features such as audio and video, access to user calendars and photos, and tracking the device’s location. Example code is available on GitHub in the form of full projects that you can download, study, and run. Build iOS apps with Swift Create, arrange, draw, layer, and animate views that respond to touch Use view controllers to manage multiple screens in a way that’s understandable to users Explore UIKit interface objects, such as scroll views, table views, popovers, web views, and maps Work with Cocoa frameworks for sensors, location, sound, and video Access user libraries: music, photos, address book, and calendar Examine additional topics including data storage, file sharing, networking, and threading Topics new to iOS 8 include: Major changes in app coordinate space and interface rotation Trait collections and size classes View margins, visual effect views, and major animation changes Changes to presented view controllers, popovers and split view controllers, alert and action sheet architecture Table view automatic variable row heights and sliding cells Classes for search results display, web view, video display, and audio mixing and effects Today extensions, Actions extensions, Photo Editing extensions Xcode 6 features: conditional constraints, view debugging, designable views, inspectable properties, new segue types Review: When I get stuck in iOS, especially something related ... - A gem. When I get stuck in iOS, especially something related to fundamental Apple view APIs, I dive back into this book. The writing is crystal clear, and the author's understanding of the subject-matter is comprehensive. Swift coverage is a plus. Review: Excellent Book but Something Essential Is Missing - This is an excellent book with, unfortunately, one major gap and a small technical issue. At the time of publishing of this edition, there were not many books on Apples promising new language Swift available. Most provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish basic tasks. Applying that in your own project may very easily fail. This book goes a step further and explains the different technologies as well as offers alternate approaches. It's the best book so far. What I don't understand is that in a nearly 1000-page book the author spends merely half a page on managing databases in SQLite with a couple of arbitrary bits of information. And even other local data options are crammed into the "Final Topics" chapter along with other stuff that didn't fit anywhere else. I'm missing a table of contents in the e-book version. It's a bit hard to use this way. ## Features - Brand New in box.

It's a bit hard to use this way. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes less is more *by T***D on July 7, 2015* The book is badly structured and rambling. Author is determined to bombard us with everything he knows, rather than concentrating on providing a concise well structured teaching guide for the key fundamentals. You need a lot of time and patience to work thru the excess material, which is of little practical value. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9788108-programming-ios-8-dive-deep-into-views-view-controllers-frameworks](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9788108-programming-ios-8-dive-deep-into-views-view-controllers-frameworks) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
