iOS 18, SwiftUI 6, & Swift 6 iOS Apps + AI (ChatGPT, Gemini) (Udemy.com)

Welcome

Hi, I'm Kenneth Jones, founder of KayJayApps and creator of the iOS Developer Roadmap.

Welcome to my course on building apps for iOS 18 using SwiftUI 6 and Swift 6. I'm so excited to show you Apple’s latest and greatest development technologies to build complete iOS apps from scratch with Swift and SwiftUI, and give you the capabilities to launch a career worth over 120k a year, based on the latest data from Glassdoor.

Swift and SwiftUI were built to be as universally applicable as possible, so even though the focus of this course is on building apps for iOS, what we’re learning can also be applied to iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and even the new visionOS.

What are Swift and SwiftUI?

Swift is the programming language we use to develop apps for all the Apple platforms. And SwiftUI is Apple's design tool of choice for building the best user experiences.

For the past few years, Apple has been putting their full efforts into the development of new and better Swift and SwiftUI features, so for anyone who is serious about developing iOS apps, Swift and SwiftUI are definitely some of the best things you can learn to make sure you’re up to speed with the most relevant mobile development practices.

With Swift and SwiftUI 6, Apple added tons of amazing new features, and I can't wait to show them to you throughout the course!

Why choose a career in iOS development?

Developing iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI is something that many employers are looking for in the developers they hire, so not only are you learning an awesome technology to build your own personal projects, but you’re also gaining a valuable skill that can help you get a top-paying development job from companies all around the world.

According to Glassdoor, here are the average U.S. salaries for common developer positions:

• iOS developer - $123,635

• Android developer - 116,257

• Web developer - 92,816

Who should take this course?

This course is for people at all levels of programming experience. If you’re an absolute beginner with no prior experience, this course will teach you everything you need to know, starting from scratch. If you’ve already been in the industry for a while, this course will introduce you to the latest additions to Apple’s most popular tools and frameworks.

Many students have already gone through the course, and here's what they're saying so far:

"The way the instructor explained it, it's really clear and easy to understand."

"Easy to understand, good for beginners and instructor is very organized."

"Great explanation for beginners about SwfitUI. Learning alot. Thanks for your explanation."

"Yes, great instruction. I am learning a lot about SwiftUI."

How This Course Is Structured

After the Intro & Welcome section, we jump straight into building our apps using the latest and greatest releases from Apple using iOS 18, SwiftUI 6, and Swift 6.

Learn about new updates to images, SF Symbols, scrolling, animations, transitions, maps, data storage, and so much more!

Personally, I don't like boring courses, so we're going to be developing complete, real-world apps with fun themes like Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Breaking Bad, Pokemon, and Harry Potter.

But don't let the "fun" part fool you. We're not skipping out on any of the learning part. We have a ton of topics to cover in this course, and I go over each one in great detail so you can really understand and use them in all your future apps.

After the initial 5 apps, which lay the foundation and give you the essential iOS development skills you will need for every app you ever create, we dive into a special section where I pull back the curtain and let you see behind the scenes as I take one of my real app ideas all the way from idea to App Store. You'll see everything that goes into an app from start to finish.

This section is also where I'll show you how I combine the essential iOS knowledge with AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, Claude, and more to accelerate each phase of the app development process.

And yes, I really will be releasing this app on the App Store, so you'll be able to download and use it when it's done.

But that's not all. In addition to seeing my real app development process, I'll also give you access to my app development project management tool that I use to guide me through my 6-Phase App Development Process. This free tool will help make sure you don't miss any crucial steps and it gives you a place to organize all your thoughts and resources needed for your apps. It includes instructions, checklists, and links to the tools I use and recommend.

You Can Shape the Future of this Course

My goal is to make this course the best iOS course available to really teach iOS app development, so I welcome all comments, questions, and feedback of any kind so I can make sure I’m serving you well.
