SWIFT APP DEVELOPMENT

What Is Swift Language?

• Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled

programming language created for iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS

and Linux developed by Apple Inc.

• Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa

Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C

code written for Apple products.

• Swift is intended to be more resilient to erroneous code ("safer")

than Objective-C and also more concise. It is built with the

LLVM compiler framework included in Xcode 6 and later and

uses the Objective-C runtime, which allows C, Objective-C,

C++ and Swift code to run within a single program.

Key Elements of

Swift App DevelopmentThat Can Impact Your Business.

Improving Your business With Swift

• The introduction of Swift as the new programming language

for iOS, although not a revolutionary one for mobile, will drive

developers to eventually phase out the use of Objective-C.

• New APIs for Touch ID, Extensibility, Notification Center, and

Handoff require mobile strategists to evaluate their impact on

the functionality of enterprise mobile apps.

• New security features, such as improved SSO and VPN, address

key enterprise requirements and mobile strategists must factor

these into mobile app development.

• Up until now, Objective C coding has been the mainstay for

iOS apps. When Swift hit the coding world last year however,

app developers came to see the new set of frameworks and

methodologies as simpler and more inclusive, enabling them

to use Xcode tools to write reliable code.

• It should be noted too that Apple has recently launched Swift

2, with even better and more developer-friendly features. And

Swift is just better for developing apps, not just for iOS, but also

for WatchOS and tvOS. Developers definitely need to learn

Swift.

Example of Some App Development On Swift

Reminders Nano

Streaks

ProCamera

Doorman

• Reminders Nano - For reasons best known to Apple's

developers, Reminders didn't make it to Apple Watch.

Reminders Nano picks up the slack, enabling you to browse

your existing reminders, mark items as done, add new things

to a list, and view what's already been completed.

• Streaks - This clean and simple habit-builder has come in for

some criticism due to its limitations: you only get to define six

habits, and must set them to happen on specific days of the

week. But it's effective to focus on a smaller number of tasks,

and the Apple Watch app is great for marking them as

done, and for keeping track via the app's complication.

• ProCamera - If you're already a user of ProCamera, this Apple

Watch app gives you a bit more control than Apple's own

camera remote. Along with a remote trigger, external viewfinder

preview, photo preview and timer, you can also use it to

configure the length of the timer delay and how many photos

will be shot.

• Doorman - Take the delivery fear out of online shopping with

Doorman, which ensures you never have another package

stolen from your doorstep.

The Broad Benefits of Swift App Development

Just like the name, Swift enables the applications to run

really fast and perform better. The Low Level Virtual Machine

compiler supported by Swift performs really quickly to

transform the code written by the developers into native

code. Added to this the coding formats or syntax and even

the standard libraries of Objective-C are fine tuned to make

the Swift code perform better.

Faster & Better Performance

Easy & Safer DevelopmentThe unsafe code criteria are eliminated in Swift. The

initialization of variables is must for use, arrays are checked for

overflow and various other code safety patterns are tuned.

The automatic garbage collection feature of it ensures that

the unused or unwanted data is deleted automatically.

Hence, memory management of the application becomes

easy as the developer will not have to devote resources for

memory management. Therefore, process of development of

iPhone apps is really safe and not that difficult.

The new iOS app development language adopts the readability

of named parameters and the power of dynamic object model of

the Objective-C. It is highly interoperable with the earlier

programming language and hence, easy for the iOS developers

to grasp who are already familiar with Objective-C.

Interoperable with Objective-C
