SwiftUI is a modern and powerful user interface framework that provides developers with an efficient way to create engaging and dynamic interfaces for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS. SwiftUI enables developers to create intuitive and interactive user interfaces with less code than traditional user interface frameworks. It also makes it easy for developers to create visually stunning and functional apps with a focus on simplicity, speed, and user experience. Additionally, it leverages the latest technologies and advancements in machine learning and AI to deliver intelligent and personalized user experiences, making it a must-have tool for modern app development.

Lets’ begin.

Assets

To get started, the first thing you need is some icons. You can simply drag all of your icons to the Assets.xcassets directory in Xcode as seen in this screenshot below. Also, rename those icons to something simple since you will be reusing them. I renamed these icons to “1”, “2” and so on.
