Learning Swift: Building Apps for macOS, iOS, and Beyond
Get valuable hands-on experience with Swift, the open source programming language developed by Apple. With this practical guide, skilled programmers with little or no knowledge of Apple development will learn how to code with the latest version of Swift by developing a working iOS app from start to finish.
You’ll begin with Swift programming basics―including guidelines for making your code "Swifty"―and learn how to work with Xcode and its built-in Interface Builder. Then you’ll dive step-by-step into building and customizing a basic app for taking, editing, and deleting selfies. You’ll also tune and test the app for performance and manage the app’s presence in the App Store.
Divided into four parts, this book
Swift 4 Learn Swift’s basic building blocks and the features of object-oriented development
Building the Selfiegram Build model objects and the UI for your selfie app and add location support, user settings, and notifications
Polishing Create a theme and support for sharing and add custom views, image overlays, and localization
Beyond app Debug and performance test with Xcode, automate chores with Fastlane, and user-test the app with TestFlight

Actually, the book is not as much about Swift, as it is about development of applications for OS X, iOS and iWatch. If you're interested in application development, the different APIs and seeing all that integrated into a single example application, this might be a good book for you.
On the other hand, if you're interested in Swift as the language, look elsewhere. The language is covered very informally and by examples, without really explaining why things are the way they are, or going beyong the most basic use cases.
