SwiftUI has 5 different style categories. Hierarchical styles are one of the categories. They can be used with or without color. Without color these hierarchical styles use variables of black and white (for light and dark modes). You have seen this with the default text, SF Symbol and Shape colors. They use the primary hierarchical style. Well, you can also use variations of color, not just black and white. Start by adding a color to the parent view using: .foregroundStyle(Color.orange) Then when you use one of these hierarchical styles, they will use a variation of that color: .pr ..read more

In SwiftUI, starting with Xcode 13, you can now apply hierarchical styles to your UI. These styles are meant to show importance to different levels of your UI by making them stand out more or by showing levels of depth. You probably do this already in some way. You give UI views in the background less color or more transparency and UI views in the foreground have more opacity (solidity) and might use more color. And finally you have your accent color which stands out the most so users know that they can interact with these UI views, like buttons. Now, you can use hierarchical styles t ..read more

In Xcode 13 you now have access to a variety of blur effects also known as "materials". Materials are one of the 5 categories of styles that can be applied to views using modifiers such as foregroundStyle and background. The 5 SwiftUI Styles Categories include: Color Gradients Materials Hierarchal Semantic When you apply a material to a view, you have a choice in how transparent and blurred the view is. Here are 6 materials available to you: ultraThinMaterial thinMaterial regularMaterial thickMaterial ultraThickMaterial bar Here are some examples of how to apply these ..read more

In SwiftUI (Xcode 13) you can use the foregroundStyle to apply gradients to views such as Text, Images, and Shapes. RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 20)     .foregroundStyle(.conicGradient(colors: [.green, .blue], center: .center)) In this image you can see foregroundStyle being used to apply the new conicGradient. The conic gradient is a lot like angularGradient. What's different is you can adjust the angle with just one parameter ..read more

With the release of Xcode 13, we see that some new colors are now a part of SwiftUI. These colors were previously a part of UIKit but were not native to SwiftUI yet.

In iOS 15 you can use SwiftUI to bind controls in a list directly to your data source. This means you can edit data in the list rows and your data source will get updated automatically. It's all about the dollar signs ($). Look at the image to see where exactly you need to add them ..read more

In SwiftUI in iOS15 you can use the safeAreaInset modifier to overlay another view that goes into the safe area like you see here. This could be a bug but the last row of a List doesn't come up above it. ? The Fix: Change the List to a ScrollView ..read more
