Easily build widgets and make them available across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS using the WidgetKit framework and the new widget API for SwiftUI. Widgets now come in multiple sizes, and users can visit the new widget gallery to search, preview sizes, and place them anywhere on the Home screen to access important details at a glance.

War ein guter Kurs. Bisschen komisch dass es mit der Xcode Beta gemacht worden ist aber hat alles geklappt.

I've been looking for a Widgets course for a long time and didn't find any - except now. I watched the WWDC 2020 videos on their website regarding Widgets - including the code-along sessions - but I was still unable to understand it and make it properly. And thanks to this course I am now able to create Widgets by myself. Worth every penny. Thanks!
