Congratulations! You've learned how easy it is to add state restoration to your app using the SceneStorage
modifier and NSUserActivity
.
You've seen how powerful SceneStorage
can be for restoring simple data types, but also how you have a little more work to do if you plan to reuse the same View
in multiple places, like tabs in a TabView
, or if you need to restore complex types like model objects.
Along the way, you touched on some more advanced topics such as generics and property declaration attributes like @State
and @SceneStorage
.
You've also used the new NavigationStack
introduced with iOS 16, and seen one way to work around problems caused when an API with stronger type safety, NavigationStack
, interacts with an API that prefers simple data types, SceneStorage
.
And most importantly, you've been introduced to Jamie, Agatha, Sigrid and all the most important characters from the Shadow Skye trilogy!
