Summary

There’s no other way of looking at iOS 18 than as an exciting one. The addition of Apple Intelligence is only part of the story – Apple took care of many system and SDK aspects such as testing, persistent data, UI, and more.

In this chapter, we explored the basics of the new Swift Testing framework, learned about Swift Data improvements, and discussed enhancements in SwiftUI such as zoom transition, floating tab bar, scroll views, and text rendering. We even scratched the surface of Apple Intelligence and tried to understand how it is integrated with App Intents. By now, you should be familiar with the most exciting and new topics in iOS 18.

A few code examples are just not enough. We are developers, and we need more! So, let’s jump straight into SwiftData and explore Apple’s new persistent data framework in the next chapter.
