Build Your FIRST iOS App For Beginners (2024) - Tutorial

In this video, we'll be showing you how to make your very first iOS app in Xcode using SwiftUI. This tutorial is perfect for beginners, so if you're just getting started with app development, this is the video for you.
We'll start by walking you through the process of setting up Xcode and creating a new project. From there, we'll show you how to use SwiftUI to build the user interface of your app. You'll learn how to add elements such as text fields, buttons, and images to your app, and how to customize their appearance and behavior.
As we progress, we'll also cover some of the more advanced features of SwiftUI, such as how to use data binding and how to create custom views. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid foundation in iOS app development and will be well on your way to creating your own apps.
So if you're ready to get started, let's dive in!

For those that get here and need help, declare (create) your enum like this: enum Emoji: String, CaseIterable { case 👩🏾‍🚀; case 😀; case 👨🏾‍💻; case 🥰; } to get "rid" (fix) the error mentioned in the comment #April2024

Hey! Probably because it is outdated, but the tutorial no longer works for me. I get an error when trying to add the emojis to the enum. Here is the workaround: import SwiftUI enum Emoji: String, CaseIterable { case checkmark = "✅" case cross = "❌" case wrench = "🔧" case sleepy = "💤" } struct ContentView: View { @State var selection = Emoji.checkmark var body: some View { VStack { Text((selection.rawValue)) .font(.system(size: 150)) Picker("Select Emoji", selection: $selection) { ForEach(Emoji.allCases, id: \.self) {emoji in Text(emoji.rawValue) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) } .padding() } } struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { ContentView() } }

Thank you. I have been wanting to build an iOS app for 15 years. Today I pulled up this tutorial and getting an error. My Xcode is 1 version higher. I guess every version changes the code to force developers to have to rewrite their code every year.

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

Do you have another video that shows me how to export the app to run on my iphone or ipad? Do you HAVE to publish it to the apple app store to do this or is there a way to install it on a device without the app store?

[@janice5083]

To run the app on your iPhone, you'll need a cable to connect your devices. I think you'll be able to run it for 14 days; after that, you'll either have to plug in your cables to install it again or join the Apple Developer Program, which costs approximately $99 per year.

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

@@janice5083 Thanks.. so just the USB connection between the ipad or iphone and my laptop I guess? Yeah i just would like to see it actually running on the device before. I also thought the cost of the Apple Dev Program was more than that. Thanks.

[@codestarrunner]

The current version of Swift won't work with the code in this video, it seems. Here's what works for me: import SwiftUI enum Emoji: String { case angel = "😇" case wavingHand = "👋" case flag = "⛳" case car = "🚘" static var allCases: [Emoji] { return [.angel, .wavingHand, .flag, .car] } } struct ContentView: View { @State var selection: Emoji = .angel var body: some View { NavigationView { VStack { Text(selection.rawValue) .font(.system(size: 150)) Picker("Select emoji", selection: $selection) { ForEach(Emoji.allCases, id: \.self) { emoji in Text(emoji.rawValue) } } .pickerStyle(.segmented) } .navigationTitle("Emoji Lovers!") .padding() } } } #Preview { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: Item.self, inMemory: true) }

[@KEEVVY]

Hi do you have a video explaining how to monetize a app, I made my first game, I know I have to pay apple 99$/year just to upload it but now I found ads over app came from 3th party like google or unity, I also understand I will need to write a policy for the app if I use ads & even host it on a website, I don't really understand how the add will be integrated in app, I will need to modify my swift game code, how it's all this done, sounds more complicated than just making the app

[@Meltdown_Gaming]

I've been programming for years now, but I'm new to swift. I still got lost in this beginners tutorial. you never explained some things that you did, such as the "." you added at 7:14

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

So, because the title text is a "title" is that why it shows at the top in spite of the fact that the emoji and picker are above it in the code? Is there any reason that the NavigationTitle could not be in the code before the emoji code ... just for programmer sanity of remembering what order things are going to display on screen? or does it have to be in this order?

Well done. How do I make it run on my iPhone?
