Once your account is all set, you will be navigated to the platform Dashboard, where you can view and search the created applications, and select templates for web and mobile apps.
From the Dashboard, you can choose your application playground. To build an iOS app, select Mobile App Playground, where you can create Android, and iOS apps using Flutter, Swift, or Kotlin.
Choose Application Playground as Mobile App
Once you have chosen the Mobile App, you will be redirected to the next screen, where you can either upload your Figma design or choose one from DhiWise’s prebuilt Templates and Categories.
Click the Start Building to start uploading your Figma design.
Upload Figma Design or Choose from the Template
In the next step, define the following core attributes of your application:
After defining the core attributes of your app click Start Building to proceed.
Define Core Attributes
This step allows you to select design screens of your choice and set up app configuration.
Next, select the web application screens you want to import from the Figma URL you provided and click Confirm Selection.
Screen Selection
Under the Application setup, configure your application identifier and icon, and once your application is all set click Save and Continue.
Application Setup
The platform will only take a few minutes to fetch Figma resources.
Fetching Core Attributes
Congrats! DhiWise has auto-identified UI components and auto-setup actions in your iOS application.
Auto Identified UI Components
Once the components are identified you can proceed to the setup splash screen and screen next to the splash screen as shown below.
Select the initial screen for your app and click Next step.
Setup Splash Screen
Select the screen to be opened after the splash screen for your app and click Submit
Setup Screen Next to Splash Screen
From here, you can move to the screen list to start customizing the application UI.
The image below shows your selected application screens. This is your one-stop shop for screen management!
Search for specific screens, view integrated actions, edit screen names for clarity, or remove unwanted screens. Ready to customize? Simply select a screen and click Configure to get started.
Screen List View
DhiWise allows you to customize UI through its visual builder, you can change view set actions, integrate API, and more.
Cutomize Screen
With the Integrate API functionality, you can set up a connection with the server and add, view, edit, and delete APIs.
API Integration
For adding a new API you can either upload a Postman file from the existing Postman collection or create and add API manually with a DhiWise API runner.
Add New API
Note: The platform uses Alamofire library to handle the web requests and responses in iOS and macOS.
The one more thing DhiWise simplifies is adding constants to your code. It allows you to create and manage multiple constant files in the app.
Add Constants
After completing your UI customization tasks, which may involve adding actions, setting up APIs, and other necessary adjustments, you can proceed to generate the app code.
With DhiWise iOS builder, you have the option of generating code for individual screens or multiple screens or generating app code directly with the Build app option.
Export Code for Single or Multiple Screens
Once you click Build app you will be asked to select the build type as shown below. Here, let’s select the Only UI Code as a desired build type to proceed and build the app.
Code Export Options
As you select the build type you can see how DhiWise iOS builder starts building your iOS app.
Build App
The platform generates clean code with reusable code components. As your final code is generated you can download the entire source code from the platform or sync it with your GitHub or GitLab Repository.
Once the code is generated, you will be redirected to the screen where you can view your generated code. To download code or sync code, click Sync or Download code from the top-right corner of the screen. Also, you can view the Code Summary which shows a version of the displayed code, the last build version, and the code type.
View Code Summary Sync and Download Code
To download your app source code click Download, and a ZIP file will be downloaded to your system. To sync code to GitHub or GitLab, select your preferred option and repository in which you want your code.
Sync Code with GitHub and GitLab
Or you can go to Settings, click Integrations, and click Select repository and follow the steps and your code will be synced to the selected repository.
Sync Code from Setting
Even after generating the source code, you can still make the app changes using the iOS App Builder and build again to get new changes in code or download and work on your preferred IDE. The platform gives you complete code ownership, so you can download the code and update the same on your favorite IDE.
