Swift (iOS/macOS): Tips and Best Practices

The book "Swift (iOS/macOS): Tips and Best Practices" is a practical guide for developers who have already mastered the basics of Swift and want to reach the next level. The author, Alexey Sokolov, has gathered years of experience working with Apple platforms and structured it into specific, ready-to-apply tips.

Unlike basic textbooks, this book focuses on "pitfalls" and effective approaches that are rarely covered in official documentation. You will learn how to write code that is easy to maintain, test, and scale.

What you will find inside:

• Architectural Patterns — how to properly organize code using MVVM, Coordinator, Redux, and other approaches adapted for SwiftUI and UIKit.
• Performance Optimization — avoiding retain cycles, memory management, profiling with Instruments, and optimizing animations.
• Working with Multithreading — modern approaches with async/await, actors, and GCD without common mistakes.
• Xcode Tips — project configuration, build automation, dependency management (SPM, CocoaPods), and writing tests.
• Security and Reliability — error handling, logging, networking, and caching.
• SwiftUI vs UIKit — when to use each framework, how to migrate, and how to combine them in a single project.

Who this book is for:

• iOS/macOS developers with at least 1 year of experience who want to improve code quality.
• Developers transitioning from Objective-C to Swift.
• Team leads and architects looking for proven solutions for complex projects.

Each chapter contains real code examples, analysis of common mistakes, and self-check checklists. The book is written in a lively style, without excessive theory — only what will truly be useful in practice.

If you want to write Swift not just correctly, but professionally — this book will become your desktop reference.
