Unlock Cross-Platform Development with Swift 6: Target iOS, macOS, and Beyond

By Benjamin Hayes

Swift 6 represents the cutting edge of Apple's powerful, safe, and modern programming language. Evolving beyond its origins, Swift has become a robust open-source technology capable of building high-performance applications not only for iOS and macOS but also for Linux, Windows, and emerging platforms like WebAssembly and embedded systems. Swift 6 introduces enhanced concurrency features and refined language capabilities, making it an even more compelling choice for developing applications that require speed, safety, and the ability to run on diverse hardware and operating systems. Short summary This book is your comprehensive guide to mastering cross-platform application development using Swift 6. Moving beyond single-platform development, you will learn how to architect, build, test, and deploy your Swift code to multiple targets, including iOS, macOS, and server-side Linux. Explore strategies for maximizing code reusability, handling platform-specific differences gracefully, and leveraging the Swift ecosystem to build robust, high-performance applications that can thrive across a wide range of environments. Whether you're extending an existing Swift project or starting a new multi-platform venture, this book provides the knowledge and best practices you need. What you'll learn -Understanding the Swift multi-platform landscape and toolchain -Architecting projects for maximum code sharing and maintainability -Implementing effective unit and UI testing strategies across platforms -Setting up Continuous Integration and Delivery pipelines for diverse targets -Navigating the specifics of iOS and macOS App Store deployment -Exploring alternative distribution methods for Apple platforms -Deep diving into performance optimization for multi-platform code -Examining emerging cross-platform frameworks and tools -Understanding the evolving Swift ecosystem and future directions About the Audience This book is for developers familiar with Swift and Xcode (or the Swift toolchain on other platforms) who want to expand their skills to build applications for multiple operating systems and environments from a single codebase. A basic understanding of software architecture principles and testing is helpful but not strictly required. If you're ready to leverage your Swift expertise to reach users beyond the Apple ecosystem, this book is for you. Don't limit your Swift applications to just one platform. Unlock the full potential of Swift 6 to build fast, safe, and maintainable software that runs everywhere.
