This project is still going to be nice and easy, but gives me chance to introduce you to whole range of new SwiftUI functionality: stacks, buttons, images, alerts, asset catalogs, and more.

Our first app used a completely standard iOS look and feel, but here we’re going to make something more customized so you can see how easy it is with SwiftUI.

You’re going to need to download some files for this project, which you can do from GitHub: https://github.com/twostraws/HackingWithSwift – make sure you look in the SwiftUI section of the files.

Once you have those, go ahead and create a new App project in Xcode called GuessTheFlag, using the same settings as before. As before we’re going to be starting with an overview of the various SwiftUI technologies required to build the app, so let’s get into it…
