SwiftGodot UI

This is a small example how to create a Swift UI to display native iOS UIKit features into your Godot 4.2+ games/projects. Utilizes SwiftGodot to present native iOS UI displays.

Setup

You will need to first clone the repo and then for the example project you can simply run ./build.sh ios debug or ./build.sh ios release depending on your current needs (use debug for testing...) in your terminal

Adding frameworks to Godot

After running the build command inside /Bin/ios/ there should be 2 new files

SwiftGodotUI.framework
SwiftGodot.framework

You will want to drag these 2 files that were built, into the Godot Project Example folder

/bin/SwiftGodotUI_debug/ >> Drag both of these folders there

Current Details

Current project just has a simple .xib file which can be used to use the visual editor to develop UI applications. You can modify this to customize the design UI. There is a simple button created in the xib storyboard, and in the code I link them and change the title text, and link the button to close the UI window created.

Test around with what you want. Make sure to add to Package.swift if you add any new ViewControllers! You can see how I'm currently adding the SwiftGodotUIViewController in there for reference.

In godot you can export to iOS

Make sure you add your team ID and add some bundle identifier.

IMPORTANT! You must include the .xib (the UI design) in the Exported XCODE Project for your game

Select Xcode Project for the Export Game from Godot > Target > Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources and then you can add from Sources/SwiftGodotUI/SwiftGodotUIViewController.xib

You need the .xib file to be included to build!!!

Adding new stuff.

You can use UIKit features (basically any UI class) to implement new features. For example a user login screen, etc.
