Hi, I'm Majid. I’m an indie developer building apps for iOS, watchOS, visionOS, and all other Apple platforms.

I mostly build health-related apps like CardioBot, allowing you to understand and improve heart metrics.

I try to share my experiences by writing blog posts.

SwiftUI provides the FocusState property wrapper that works on all Apple platforms and allows us to focus on a particular view or check if that view is already focused. The usage is effortless.

Background Tasks framework allows you to schedule work intelligently in the background. We can handle background tasks using the SwiftUI app lifecycle.

The SwiftUI framework introduced the onGeometryChange view modifier, which is backward compatible with iOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, watchOS 9, and visionOS 1. It allows us to track geometry changes of any view in SwiftUI.

All we need to play haptic feedback in a SwiftUI view is to attach the sensoryFeedback view modifier with two parameters. The first defines a feedback style, and the second is a trigger value.

TIL the @.Observable macro doesn't trigger updates for equatable properties starting with iOS 26. But for prior releases, we have to manually check equality for the object properties to improve our app performances.

Thank you for the tip Steven!

For modern apps targeting iOS 16 and above, I recommend building the core of the app using SwiftUI and incorporating UIKit in certain parts where SwiftUI’s performance may not meet your expectations, like using compositional layout with collection views.

Your SwiftUI views keep growing.

You tidy up with extensions, but it still feels messy.

How do you scale SwiftUI without chaos?

Here’s how I approach clean, reusable architecture 👇

The ViewThatFits view is easy to use. You don’t need to measure space or calculate if a view fits. Simply create an instance and place children views. It automatically measures space and children’s sizes and selects the first fitting view.

The Container view API in SwiftUI enables you to restructure views. I was attempting to construct a dashboard view that accepts a view hierarchy and redefines it within a grid using my custom logic.

On iOS 26 we have a new `close` button role in SwiftUI to dismiss a view without losing the user's progress, unlike a cancel action. A convenient way to add a dismiss button for modals without the need to define a custom button label!
