About Swift
Writing Swift code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love. Swift code is safe by design and produces software that runs lightning-fast. Swift is the result of the latest research on programming languages, combined with decades of experience building Apple platforms. Named parameters are expressed in a clean syntax that makes APIs in Swift even easier to read and maintain. Even better, you don’t even need to type semi-colons. Inferred types make code cleaner and less prone to mistakes, while modules eliminate headers and provide namespaces. To best support international languages and emoji, Strings are Unicode-correct and use a UTF-8 based encoding to optimize performance for a wide-variety of use cases. You can even write concurrent code with simple, built-in keywords that define asynchronous behavior, making your code more readable and less error-prone.

Xcode
Xcode is Apple’s integrated development environment for building, testing, and distributing apps across Apple platforms. It provides powerful tools for coding, debugging, profiling, and simulation in one unified workspace. Predictive code completion and coding intelligence help developers write cleaner, faster code. Xcode supports advanced debugging and performance analysis to identify issues early. Built-in simulators allow developers to prototype apps across Apple devices without physical hardware. Testing frameworks ensure apps meet quality and performance standards. Xcode streamlines the entire app development lifecycle from idea to deployment.

Objective-C
Objective-C is the primary programming language you use when writing software for OS X and iOS. It’s a superset of the C programming language and provides object-oriented capabilities and a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods. It also adds language-level support for object graph management and object literals while providing dynamic typing and binding, deferring many responsibilities until runtime. When building apps for OS X or iOS, you’ll spend most of your time working with objects. Those objects are instances of Objective-C classes, some of which are provided for you by Cocoa or Cocoa Touch and some of which you’ll write yourself.

SwiftUI
SwiftUI helps you build great-looking apps across all Apple platforms with the power of Swift — and surprisingly little code. You can bring even better experiences to everyone, on any Apple device, using just one set of tools and APIs.
Build sophisticated animations with expanded animation support. Use phases to create sequences of animations, or create multiple animation tracks using keyframes. SwiftUI automatically transfers the velocity of a user gesture to your animations so your app feels fluid and natural.
Share more of your SwiftUI code with your watchOS apps. Scroll vertical TabViews using the crown, match colors with adaptive background containers, take advantage of edge-to-edge displays with new ToolbarItem placements, and leverage NavigationSplitView to build detailed list views.
