A curated directory of over 100 books for iOS, Swift, and Apple platform development.
Awesome iOS Books is a curated directory of books focused on iOS, Swift, and Apple platform development. It aggregates over 100 titles across categories like SwiftUI, Combine, architecture, testing, and more, helping developers find learning resources efficiently. The project solves the problem of scattered, hard-to-discover educational materials by providing a single, organized reference.
iOS and Apple platform developers at all skill levels, from beginners seeking introductory tutorials to experienced engineers looking for advanced topics like reverse engineering or Metal. It's also valuable for educators, technical writers, and non-English speakers with its Russian book section.
Developers choose this because it offers a comprehensive, well-organized, and community-vetted collection of books, saving time compared to searching across multiple platforms. Its categorization by specific technologies (e.g., SwiftUI, ARKit) and inclusion of niche topics (e.g., Russian books) make it uniquely thorough.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Over 100 hand-picked books ensure high-quality resources, avoiding low-quality or outdated materials, as highlighted in the 'Curated Collection' feature from the README.
Includes sections from beginner iOS to advanced topics like reverse engineering and server-side Swift, demonstrated in the extensive content menu with over 20 categories.
Open for contributions with a clear guide, keeping the list current with new releases, as shown in the 'Last updated' badge and contribution link in the README.
Features a dedicated Russian books section, expanding accessibility for non-English speakers, which is a unique aspect compared to other similar lists.
The list lacks reviews or ratings for books, so users must rely on titles and authors without community feedback on quality, which can lead to uncertainty in selection.
Books are linked to external sites like Amazon and Gumroad, which can lead to broken links over time, and the project has no control over availability or pricing changes.
Excludes other learning formats such as online courses, tutorials, or videos, limiting options for those who prefer diverse media or hands-on interactive resources.
Books take time to publish, so the list may not immediately cover the latest iOS features or Swift versions, as seen with some entries targeting older iOS versions like iOS 12 or 13.
