The iOS 8 SDK changes everything. New programming language, new ways to work with other apps, new tools to do cool stuff. In a world of iPhones and iPads, it's a great time to make a fresh start developing apps for the platform. This book guides you through the state of the art of iOS development, including the radically overhauled Xcode 6 toolchain, the iOS 8 SDK, and the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Entirely rewritten to use Apple's new Swift programming language, this book will take you through the fundamentals of writing apps that are responsive, adaptive, practical, and exciting. Whether you're starting out or starting over, iOS 8 has set developers on a new path. With a capable and practical new programming language, a wide variety of new features and frameworks, and a new spirit of openness and connectivity, it's a long way from the locked-down, webapps-only original iPhone. iOS 8 SDK Development is a practical guide to the essentials of developing for iOS 8. You'll start building and revising a real app that's written entirely in Apple's new Swift programming language. You'll send network requests and handle the responses, build from one screen to many, adapt from the close confines of the iPhone screen to the wide expanse of the iPad, and accommodate the big iPhone 6 in between. You'll master the fundamentals of keeping apps responsive with Grand Central Dispatch, organize your logic into View Controllers, delight users with multi-touch gestures and photo manipulation, and offer services to other apps through iOS 8 Extensions. You'll also learn the fine arts of testing, debugging, and the care and feeding of your app before submitting to the App Store--and after it's in the public's hands. The iOS 8 SDK changes everything. Change with it. It's only getting better. What You Need: This title covers the iOS 8 SDK and Xcode 6. Readers will need a Mac with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), or later, and Xcode 6 (free from the Mac App Store).

Must read for swift devs. -1 star for errors in beta but confident final version will address the issues.

All in on Swift! iOS 10 and Xcode 8 make it clearer than ever that Swift is Apple's language of the future. Core frameworks have been redesigned to work better with Swift, and the language itself continues to evolve quickly. iOS 10 SDK Development is the pure-Swift approach to developing for the iOS platform. This completely revised and updated edition of the bestselling iOS guide shows you how to pull in the SDK's enormous feature set and deliver powerful, real-world apps for iPhone and iPad using modern Swift programming techniques. Swift is the language of the future for iOS development, and this completely revised and updated book is your guide. From the community-driven changes in Swift 3 to the overhaul of iOS' Foundation framework to make it more "Swifty," iOS 10 and Xcode 8 mark an "all in" commitment to Swift, and this new edition matches that commitment. Learn not just the syntax of the Swift language but also stylish Swift, the idiomatic uses of the language, and best practices you'll find in the wild. From there, move into developing a complete, real-world podcast client sample application-completely new for this edition-featuring Internet access, tables, navigation, and media playback, all with the most modern approaches provided by Apple's iOS 10 frameworks and tools. Go beyond code to master the practices that professional developers rely on: testing, debugging, publishing on the App Store, and managing your app over the long haul. As a bonus, you'll get a taste of cutting-edge iOS 10 features, such as the new Siri voice-command API. Swift's time is here. Whether you're new to Swift or just catching up on iOS' latest features, iOS 10 SDK Development will help you master the language and the platform.
