This week's video:

This week's video is a follow up to my video on creating enum generated Tab views. That video was by far the most popular video I have had in a long time. Lot's of great comments and one exchange is leading to a new video on another topic.

This week's video on creating Custom Tab Bars has also gotten off to a great start with the number of views reaching 1.000 within the first 24 hours so thanks to those who have seen it already.

If you are tired of the standard SwiftUI TabView, I’ll show you how to replace the default tab bar with custom-designed tab bars that work on iOS and iPadOS!

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to hide the default Tab Bar

✅ Creating custom tab bars with animations

✅ Using SwiftUI enums & bindings for cleaner navigation

✅ Solving issues like the More button & extra tabs

✅ Designing three custom tab bar styles

​

What is coming?

Next week, I will be releasing a video that I hope you will enjoy. It is called "A case for Custom Bindings in SwiftUI: Essential Tips and Tricks"
I have only recently started using them myself so I thought that I would share with you why Custom Bindings in SwiftUI are a powerful tool that you should master! While they may seem intimidating at first, I’ll break them down into easy-to-understand examples that will help you integrate them seamlessly into your SwiftUI projects.

Other News

I am busy preparing for my Deep Dish Swift talk at the end of April. The topic is "Why didn't I know that?".
I can't tell you how many times I come across things that I thought that I should know, but don't. Sometimes things that are common knowledge to others have flown under the radar for me and it turns out I am not alone.

I am primarily active on Mastodon and I am always pleasantly surprised when developers much more experienced than I am post about something that they just learned yet I have been using that concept for years. It is encouraging to know that we all have something to learn and this is why I do what I do.

Oldie by Goodie

Let me finish this newsletter with video that I released at the start of my YouTube career back in January 2020.
It is still relevant today, and every time I get a new computer, or have to completely trash Xcode and do a clean install, I refer back to this so that I can make sure that all of my Code Snippets are back for this computer and shared with my office computer.
