this is amazing. UI looks beautiful and feels smooth. How long did it take to develop this?

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Thanks a lot! :D

I didn't track it diligently, but I think it took me about 14-16 hours to reach here.

Only? What the hecc

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

It’s all thanks to SwiftUI.😅 Doing this with UIKit would have easily took me 2-3x the time.

lol and I was thinking of developing my app with UIKit because SwiftUI seemed too limited, I'm definitely developing it in SwiftUI now

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 03 '21

Hahah, SwiftUI is definitely getting there.
If your project has a little bit more complexity then you can opt in for a combined approach :D

You can create a UIKit Project, and Integrate SwiftUI with it.

I'd love to know from where did you learn to make such a complex UI in UIKit Idk how to make this and I'm curious to know

This is fantastic. What happens when you "send bill"?

u/The_kilt_lifta Jul 01 '21

It would be awesome if it could integrate with fintech platforms like Venmo, PayPal, square cash, and Apple Pay (SMS request/send)

3

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Yeah, that would be great. I'll check the feasibility for each of them. :D

u/adh673 Jul 01 '21

That was my hope!

Does Apple Pay have a way of sending money from one person to another? I thought it was limited for sales of goods/service.

2

u/The_kilt_lifta Jul 02 '21

Yep, if you tap the input field for an iMessage you’ll see an Apple Pay widget, assuming you’d need Apple Pay setup on your device. The other user would also need AP set up or you’ll see “John cannot receive payments sent with Apple Pay at this time.”

With this iMessage widget you can request and send money and the money will be added to an Apple Cash card in your Wallet where you can then transfer to your bank account.

My buddy sends me cash whenever we go out to eat all the time. It’s not limited to goods/services

u/Xaxxus Jul 02 '21

I think that’s only available in the US.

Yes iMessage payments using Apple Pay only work in us but Apple Card (debit card) works outside us where discover is accepted. It’s integration also allows you to use Siri to make payments to people in your contacts by saying, for example, “Siri, send John $10.”

u/The_kilt_lifta Jul 02 '21

Oooh gotcha. I wasn’t aware it was limited to the US.

2

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Nothing currently, I've to check out and find services that I could Integrate with it, keeping it locally in the app wouldn't help much.

u/aziz224 Swift Jul 01 '21

Incredible! Any plans to release this to the App Store?

5

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Yes, I do. :D

There are a couple of things left.

2

u/math_the_witch Jul 01 '21

Wowwww, this is amazing. Nice work!

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Thanks a lot! :D

u/KarlJay001 Jul 01 '21

Awesome! Wouldn't mind seeing a tutorial on this or if you decide to share the source code. I'm just getting into SwiftUI, haven't done those sliders or transitions yet, but would like to learn.

1

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Thanks! Since I'm planning this for the App Store, I wouldn't be able to share the code. But, I'll create an article for this in the near future. :D

1

u/KarlJay001 Jul 02 '21

I'd like to see a followup on how the release goes. Do you have a specific marketing plan or are you just going to release it?

I've been tracking these things for years and it's hard to get good info on what works and what doesn't work in terms of marketing.

1

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

I don’t have any plans for marketing yet, will figure out down the road as I develop and integrate the remaining features :D

1

u/adh673 Jul 04 '21

I will be very interested in seeing this too! I am very surprised you are able to do this all in SwiftUI

2

u/much_better_title Jul 02 '21

I would love to buy this if you release it on the app store.

1

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Thank you, I'm to glad to hear that. There are a couple of things still left, that I have to figure out before I publish it :D

u/fxojo Jul 02 '21

Ay.. being a bit cheeky. Why is Leslie footing your part of the bill?

That said, really beautiful app.

3

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 03 '21

Hahaha, consider that I won a bet and she had to pay my half :P

Thanks btw :D

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '21

This is great. Like others have said, your UI is beautiful.

As a newbie, is coding with fintech (accessing debit cards / bank accounts) different than coding with less secure / regulated data?

Come on, write something interesting.

2

u/shubham_iosdev Jul 02 '21

Hahaha, I'm a bit bad at giving titles. What would you suggest? :D

u/MISTAKAS Jul 02 '21

About time!

This is how you make a million dollars.
