SwiftConf '22 - Marina Coelho: Firebase for Apple Developers

In this talk, Marina is going to walk you through the building blocks for creating modern applications on Apple’s platforms using SwiftUI and Firebase.
She will cover the following topics:
• Setting up an architecture for data-driven applications
• What is new in SwiftUI’s application life cycle
• Syncing data in real-time across multiple devices with Cloud Firestore
• Mapping Firestore documents in a type-safe way using the Codable protocol
• Using Combine to fetch data from remote APIs and Firebase
• How async/await (new in Swift 5.5) will affect the way we write asynchronous code
Firebase is always evolving, so she will also talk about how they are making use of Apple’s latest technologies in their own code base, for example:
• Combine
• async/await
• SwiftUI view modifiers
No matter if you are a seasoned Firebase user or just wondering what it is all about, you should leave this session with a deeper understanding of what Firebase is and how you can use it in your apps on Apple’s platforms.
