Apple watchOS 7 App Development Essential Training

Course details

The Apple Watch has continually dominated the smart watch market. It accounts for a majority of all smart watch sales, and its sales numbers have even eclipsed those of its analog competitors. In this course, learn how to develop and deploy a native application for this hugely popular smart watch using watchOS 7 and SwiftUI. Instructor Steven Lipton steps through how to build a simple iOS project, putting key concepts in context along the way. Discover how to create a storyboard-based standalone app without a phone base. Learn how to work with SwiftUI to create an app project from an existing phone project. Plus, see how to add navigation, lists, complications, notifications, a custom user interface from the digital crown (the primary hardware input for Apple Watch), and more.
