iOS 11 unleashed a whole range of powerful new tools for you to build intelligent apps, and this book helps you get started with them as quickly as possible: Core ML, Vision, ARKit, and more!
Take advantage of Core ML to deliver intelligent new apps that can proactively assist your users.
Learn how to augment reality with slick interactive graphics thanks to Apple's new ARKit framework.
Let users move data freely inside your app and others too using powerful new multi-touch gestures.
NFC reading, PDFView, Vision, MusicKit, the new iOS 11 design language, and more!
Practical iOS 11 includes seven all-new projects that teach all the major changes introduced in iOS 11, plus technique projects that deep-dive into smaller features.
Learn to build your own Core ML model from scratch, then teach iOS how to evaluate the trade-in price of cars using machine learning.
Learn how ARKit can place virtual objects in a real environment, then add Core Location to help tourists find their way around a city.
Create a fun postcard app that blends images, text, and colors, all powered by iOS 11's incredible new drag and drop APIs.
See how easy it is to render PDFs using watermarks and interactive thumbnails, all using the new PDFKit framework.
Face detection APIs got a real boost in iOS 11, so we use them to build an app that detects faces in photos and lets users tap to blur them.
MusicKit lets you integrate Apple Music in your app, and in this project we use it build a fast-paced two-player charts game.
Build an app that record video while the Vision framework silently detects objects in the scene – finally, searchable videos!
