AI & ML for iOS Developers: Build Intelligent Apps with SwiftUI
What you'll learn
AI & Machine Learning for iOS Developers
Taught by: Stephan Dowless, Ex-Meta Engineer • 10+ Years of iOS Experience
Bring artificial intelligence and machine learning directly into your iOS apps. In this project-based course, you’ll build multiple real-world apps that combine the power of Core ML, Vision, Natural Language, OpenAI, and Apple Intelligence to create intelligent, user-aware experiences.
Whether you’re a seasoned iOS developer looking to level up or someone diving into AI for the first time, this course will guide you step-by-step through integrating models, processing data, and deploying production-ready AI features—all in Swift and SwiftUI.
What You’ll Build
You’ll create four powerful, real-world AI and ML applications:
- Sentiment Analyzer
Build a natural language processing model that classifies user text as positive, neutral, or negative—then visualize the results beautifully with SwiftUI. Learn how to preprocess data, fine-tune a model, and deploy it locally with Core ML. - Sign Decoder
Use image processing and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to detect and read signs from photos or live camera feeds, then automatically translate the detected text using a translation API. Perfect for learning Vision and multilingual workflows. - Trail Risk Analyzer
Train a custom ML model using CSV data in Xcode to predict hiking trail difficulty and risk levels based on environmental inputs (elevation, distance, conditions, etc.). You’ll gain real experience with model training and predictive analytics on-device. - AI Social App
A full-stack iOS social experience powered by OpenAI and Apple Intelligence. Users can generate posts, summarize conversations, and interact with an AI-powered chat feed. This project blends AI APIs, async/await networking, and modern app architecture.
Key Skills You’ll Master
- Core ML, Vision, and Natural Language frameworks
- Data preprocessing and model training inside Xcode
- Integrating AI APIs like OpenAI and Apple Intelligence
- Building intelligent, context-aware user experiences
- Working with real datasets and custom CSV models
- Modern Swift Concurrency and async/await patterns
- SwiftUI interface design for AI-driven apps
Who This Course Is For
This course is for iOS developers ready to bring machine learning and AI into their apps—without the fluff. You’ll learn by building real products, not reading theory. Every section ends with a working app you can show off in your portfolio or ship to the App Store.

Success Stories
Our students are getting hired at top companies. We can help you get there too.
"I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible journey AppStuff has taken me on in my pursuit of becoming an iOS engineer. As a student aspiring to break into the world of app development, I was initially overwhelmed by the complexity of iOS development. That's when I stumbled upon AppStuff, and it truly transformed my learning experience."
“I’ve worked with a lot of codebases over the years, and Stephan’s immediately stood out. The moment I dove into his Messenger app, everything just clicked. The structure, the clarity, the architecture — it all spoke to me.
Retrofitting it to my own backend built with Vapor and Postgres was surprisingly seamless. I don’t say this lightly: I’m picky about code quality, and Stephan’s work is among the best I’ve ever seen.
His production-ready Pro Plus templates set a new standard for iOS development — they’re more than learning tools, they’re professional-grade systems you can actually build on.”
Stephan Dowless consistently puts out some of the most in-depth and well-rounded iOS tutorials I’ve ever come across. His courses don’t just scratch the surface—they fully cover what they teach, which is something I really appreciate in a landscape where many tutorials leave out key details.
What sets Stephan apart even more is how he continues to evolve his courses year after year, always staying up to date with the latest coding standards and best practices. You can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of his content and the success of his students.
If you’re serious about mastering iOS development, I couldn’t recommend his courses more.
"Today, I proudly call myself an iOS engineer, and I owe a significant part of my success to AppStuff. With their guidance and resources, I not only gained the knowledge and skills but also the confidence to pursue a career in iOS development. I am now equipped to tackle challenging projects and contribute meaningfully to the world of mobile app development."
"If you're a student with dreams of becoming an iOS engineer, I highly recommend AppStuff as your go-to resource. Trust me, it's the perfect launchpad for your iOS development journey. Thank you, AppStuff, for making my dream a reality!"
