iOS gives us a whole range of powerful tools to build intelligent apps, and this book helps you get started with them as quickly as possible: Core ML, Vision, ARKit, and more.

- Machine Learning: Take advantage of Core ML to deliver intelligent new apps that can proactively assist your users.

- ARKit: Learn how to augment reality with slick interactive graphics thanks to Apple's new ARKit framework.

- Drag & Drop: Let users move data freely inside your app and others too using powerful new multi-touch gestures.

Plus: NFC reading, PDFKit, Vision, MusicKit, and more!

Advanced iOS: Volume Two includes seven new projects that teach a variety of power features in iOS, plus technique projects that deep-dive into smaller features:

- Project 1: Trade my Tesla – Teach iOS how to evaluate the trade-in price of cars using machine learning.

- Project 2: Sightspotter – Blend augmented reality with Core Location to help tourists find their way around a city.

- Project 6: Name that Tune – Use MusicKit to fetch data from Apple Music and build a fast-paced two-player charts game.
