We recently released our first SwiftUI app – Baby it’s time – on the App Store.
Baby it’s time – is a simple iOS app that tracks when you baby last ate, so you can see if it’s time for the next milk bottle or meal or… This was an interesting exercise in SwiftUI development. Let me explain.
In 2014 Apple released the Swift programming language. The language is open source and replaces the existing Objective C language. All our apps available on the App Store have been rewritten in Swift for several years now.
A few years ago Apple releases SwiftUI. SwiftUI is a declarative way of describing the UI (User Interface) of an application. This is a mind shift in how to write an application. This is the way forward for more and more applications. It allows you to write an app faster and without bugs, which is a big accomplishment. Not everything is possible yet, but every year a lot of functionality is added. So – Baby it’s time – is not only an app that was written in one day, it’s the start to write more and more apps in SwiftUI.
