Overview of this book

iOS 13 comes with features ranging from Dark Mode and Catalyst through to SwiftUI and Sign In with Apple. If you're a beginner and are looking to experiment and work with these features to create your own apps, then this updated fourth edition gets you off to a strong start. The book offers a comprehensive introduction for programmers who are new to iOS, covering the entire process of learning the Swift language, writing your own apps, and publishing them on the App Store. This edition is updated and revised to cover the new iOS 13 features along with Xcode 11 and Swift 5. The book starts with an introduction to the Swift programming language, and how to accomplish common programming tasks with it. You'll then start building the user interface (UI) of a complete real-world app, using the latest version of Xcode, and also implement the code for views, view controllers, data managers, and other aspects of mobile apps. The book will then help you apply the latest iOS 13 features to existing apps, along with introducing you to SwiftUI, a new way to design UIs. Finally, the book will take you through setting up testers for your app, and what you need to do to publish your app on the App Store. By the end of this book, you'll be well versed with how to write and publish apps, and will be able to apply the skills you've gained to enhance your apps.

At this point, you have created and configured LocationViewController, which acts as the view controller for this table view. Now, you'll need to create model objects to make the table view display a list of actual locations. Just like you did in the previous chapter, you'll use a .plist file that contains location data, but instead of using an existing .plist file, you'll create one from scratch and add location data to it.

Before you create the .plist file, you'll create an array containing a list of cities and configure LocationViewController to display them in the table view to make sure LocationViewController is working properly. Follow these steps to do so:

  1. Directly under the tableView property declaration, add the following:
let locations = ["Aspen", "Boston", "Charleston", &quot...
