iOS 26 Programming Guide provides a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to building iPhone and iPad applications using Swift 6 and the latest iOS frameworks. Whether you're completely new to programming or transitioning from another platform, this practical guide takes you from fundamental concepts through professional app deployment. Starting with Swift language essentials, you'll progress through object-oriented programming, interface design with UIKit and storyboards, navigation patterns, and data management. Learn to fetch data from web APIs, parse JSON responses, persist information locally with Core Data, and integrate device capabilities including GPS, camera, and Apple Intelligence for smart features. The book emphasizes practical, real-world application development over abstract theory. Each chapter builds on previous concepts, guiding you through creating actual iOS interfaces, implementing navigation flows, and solving problems professional developers encounter daily. You'll master the complete development lifecycle from writing your first lines of Swift code through debugging, testing, creating app icons, and successfully submitting applications to the App Store. Discover iOS 26's cutting-edge features including Apple Intelligence for on-device AI capabilities and the modern Liquid Glass UI design system. By the final chapter, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to build, test, and publish professional iOS applications. No prior programming experience required just a Mac, curiosity, and determination to learn iOS development.
