SwiftUI, along with UIKit has received an exciting update. This article is intended as a companion to the video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10148/ and is in no way intended as a replacement. I’ve often found the code snippets in these videos don’t quite work, and it is only by putting them in a project and trying them that I can really get a grip on these things. This article is my commentary and notes, and I’ve made that available to everyone on Medium this year.

RealityKit

There are some great updates for RealityKit. I’m not going to cover these here as I don’t have the kit (yet).

WatchOS

NavigationSplitView and NavigationStack have been revamped, and some other great UI changes. DatePicker and list selection are great ways of making watch Apps sing.

Widgets

Widgets are updated, which is great. They had some airtime during the keynote, and it’s great to see them start to shine.

MapKit

It’s now simpler than ever to add maps to SwiftUI, and there is a new video to help us do just that.
