To move an existing iOS app codebase to SwiftUI can quickly become a challenge if we don’t scope the difficulties ahead. After covering the navigation and design layer last week, it’s time to dive deeper into the logic and handle the code migration for a database and the user preferences. If you’ve missed it, have […]
If SwiftUI is great for many things, migrating completely an existing app codebase to it can be really tricky. In a series of blog posts, I’ll share how to migrate an iOS app written in Swift with UIKit to SwiftUI. Today, let’s start with the navigation and the UI components with storyboards.

A week away for another wave of innovation from WWDC 2020, I thought it would be interesting to dive back into Objective-C starting with a MVVM pattern implementation.
