Some of the UI looks involved (like the chat UI). Much more complicated than other SwiftUI I have seen so far. I haven’t dug into SwiftUI at my day job, but would love to hear more details about your process. What issues did you run into? Did you use many third party dependencies?

Congrats! it looks great!! Few questions if you have the time:

- How long it took?

- Was your first project in Swift UI?

- Was enough with Apple documentation?

- What other educational resources did you use to find how to solve the problems?

- What versions of Swift / Swift UI did you use?

I ran into a lot of issues but had to find a workaround thanks to StackOverflow and UIViewRepresentable. For instance I ran into issues with highlighting Phone numbers & link when displaying a text but I used this solution here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63258385/using-url-to-di...

etc

How did you find SwiftUI? I built a project with it recently and liked some aspects of it, reminded me of working with WPF years ago, but also found it a bit cumbersome.

Mixed. Some simple stuff with UIKit can be messy and complicated with SWIFTUI. But the intuitiveness of SWIFTUI will make you comfortable with some of the little challenges it poses.
