What’s new in SwiftUI for iOS 15
Expectations were always going to be high for SwiftUI this year, but the team didn’t disappoint – they’ve shipped a massive collection of improvements and features, including a new AsyncImage view for loading remote images, swipe actions for list rows, pull to refresh, plus shorter, simpler APIs for common uses. Alongside huge improvements to Swift itself (see What's new in Swift 5.5 for more on that), this is another significant leap forward for SwiftUI and I’m really keen to dive in.
Please keep in mind that these changes are very new – I'm pushing it as hard as I can, experimenting, refining, sharing, and learning all at the same time. If you have any feedback, please tweet me @twostraws.
