To my father, late Shree Ram Lage, my role model, my inspiration, my pride, who taught me what duties and responsibilities mean. I hope I am making you proud, Baba.

To my mother, Jamuna Laxmi Sitikhu (Lage), my support system, who has befriended struggles and has taught me to bravely face challenges. I know youve made many sacrifices to make me who I am today, Mamu.

To my little sister, Sarina Lage, who has always been there for me in my highs and lows, joys and sorrows. And I know youll be there for me in the days to come too. I love you.

To my grandparents, Ganga Laxmi Sitikhu and Narayan Bhakta Sitikhu, who have always showered me with their precious blessings and unconditional love.

To my uncles and aunts, Narayan Prasad Sitikhu and Ram Devi Sitikhu, Sunil Kharbuja and Srijana Kharbuja, Krishna Prasad Bohaju and Rejina Bohaju, for wholeheartedly providing their guidance and love to me.

To the person who lit the spark of interest in computers, gadgets, and technology in me since my childhood my uncle, Jibesh Sitikhu. I wouldnt be where I am today without your contributions, your teachings, your talks and without breaking down your computer many times. And to my aunt, Rajyashwori Sitikhu. Youre an epitome of kindness and affection.

To my lovely cousins, Bigyan Sitikhu, Sachin Bohaju, Binam Sitikhu, Salin Bohaju, Shrijal Kharbuja, Jibisha Sitikhu, Swornim Kharbuja, Jibika Sitikhu, Raunak Sitikhu, and Raunika Sitikhu. You have filled my life with joy. I love you all.

To my brother from another mother, Kshitij Raj Lohani, who has always helped me selflessly and who allowed me to access and use his personal MacBook Pro in the United States, from Nepal, for almost a year. I was able to join an iOS bootcamp, write blogs on iOS development, and write this book just because he allowed me to use his computer as I couldnt afford one.

To all my teachers, seniors, mentors, friends, and juniors. You are my gems. I feel blessed to have you in life. Thank you for everything!

Sagun Raj Lage

To my dear mother.

Before You Begin
Before you start exploring the beauty and power of WidgetKit through this book, you will need to make sure you have the following prerequisites set up:
  • A Mac running macOS Catalina (version 10.15.4) or later: However, we recommend a Mac running macOS Big Sur (version 11) or later as the code was tested on that version.

  • Xcode 12 or later: Xcode is the primary tool used to develop apps for the Apple ecosystem. You can download the latest version of Xcode from Apples developer site. We recommend using Xcode 12.4 or later as the code was tested on that version.

  • Swift 5 or later: Since the new versions of Xcode ship with the updated versions of Swift, you need not worry about this.

  • Simulators and devices with iOS 14 or later installed since the WidgetKit framework, the framework you will use to develop widgets, is only supported from iOS 14.

  • A Twitter Developer Account: In the last chapter of this book, you will develop a widget that will use Twitters API. And you will get access to Twitters API only after you own a Twitter Developer Account. You can apply for a developer account from Twitters developer account page.

    Generally, it takes a day or two, or sometimes even more, for Twitter to review your application and approve or reject it. Therefore, it is a nice idea to apply for that account before beginning this book so that when you reach the last chapter, your Twitter Developer Account will be ready to use.
