Let's develop an iOS 14 app with Core Data

Let's develop a Core Data app with SwiftUI

What will you learn?

In this SwiftUI tutorial, we will develop a task manager iOS application with Core Data integration. This is not a project with a boring user interface. This SwiftUI application provides a personal touch and feel.

Learn how to integrate Core Data with SwiftUI

Apple's Core Data framework helps developers to manage and interact with data on a persistent store. It works on iPhone, iPad, Mac computer, or even Apple Watch.

When we start from a brand new project, the easiest way to use the Core Data framework is by enabling the Core Data option on the setup screen. By doing that Xcode will generate all the required file templates with code and the managed object model for us.

This Xcode 12's new Core Data template comes with the SwiftUI app life cycle integration and the required Core Data Model. This is why it is worth knowing how to get started with this new template and how to create a working application.

Workbook

You can download the PDF workbook file of this Core Data tutorial and take a deep look at all of the various iOS app development topics that we’re going to cover in this app development tutorial in SwiftUI.

What will you build in Xcode?

Asset files and Graphics

Unlike any other learning materials on YouTube, this SwiftUI Masterclass provides you asset files premade by a professional designer such as graphic files, images, video files, sound files, etc.

These supplemental learning materials will give you a real-life experience of how a professional app developer works within a real-life environment with UI designers together.

I'm pretty confident that you will enjoy the development process and you will be satisfied by looking at the finished application.

What are Widgets?

A widget elevates key content from your app and displays it where people can see it at a glance on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Useful and delightful, widgets can also help people personalize their iPhone Home screens in unique ways. The Widget API was introduced with iOS 14.

Official Documentation

What is the Core Data framework?

Core Data is for save application’s permanent data for offline use, to cache temporary data, and to add undo functionality to your app on a single device.
Through Core Data’s Data Model editor, we define data’s types, relationships, and generate respective class definitions.
