This intermediate book (over 950 pages) uses a problem-solution approach to teach you Swift programming and covers some of the common APIs provided by the iOS SDK including Core ML and ARKit. The book and the source code bundled are now compatible with iOS 15 and Xcode 13.
This book is written for developers with some experience on the Swift programming language and with an interest in developing iOS apps. It is not a book for beginners. But if you have some experience in Swift, you will definitely benefit from this book.
While you can start reading from chapter 1 of the book, but this is not a must. Each chapter stands on its own, so you can also treat this book as a reference. Simply pick the chapter that interests you and dives into it.
