In this talk, we are going to walk you through the building blocks for creating modern applications on Apple’s platforms using SwiftUI and Firebase.
We will cover the following topics:
- Setting up an architecture for data-driven applications
- What’s new in SwiftUI’s application life cycle
- Syncing data in realtime across multiple devices with Cloud Firestore
- Mapping Firestore documents in a type-safe way using the Codable protocol
- Storing images and other large files in Cloud Storage
- Using Firebase in WidgetKit and on watchOS
- How async/await (new in Swift 5.5) will affect the way we write asynchronous code (plus some surprises in Firebase's code base)
Firebase is always evolving, so we will also talk about how we’re making use of Apple’s latest technologies in our own code base, for example
- Combine
- async/await
- SwiftUI view modifiers
No matter if you’re a seasoned Firebase user or just wondering what it is all about, you should leave this session with a deeper understanding of what Firebase it and how you can use it your apps on Apple’s platforms.
