iOS Good Practices
If you’re looking for icons, start with SF Symbols
The symbols can be incorporated into our projects through a library provided by Apple. It has 4000+ symbols in different weights and scales. All the symbols are designed with San Francisco, the system font for Apple platforms. You don’t need to import icons from SF Symbols into your project. Just use this below code to use any icon by giving the symbol name:
In Swift:
let image = UIImage(systemName: "square.and.pencil")
In SwiftUI:
Image(systemName: "square.and.pencil")
You can learn more about SF Symbols implementation by reading this article.
