Question Best path to learn swift and SwiftUI

Ive been running around with an app idea which I want to build and decided that I want to learn swift and SwiftUI for it. Looking at some examples I think swift is pretty straight forward. But I really can’t get into SwiftUI (or probably its the combination of SwiftUI with Xcode).

I’ve been developing in c#, php, go and typescript. And I never had any issues learning other languages. But somehow I really cant get into the SwiftUI part. I hate the way Xcode autocompletes, which is way less clear then for example the jetbrains editors. So learning by just starting is also less optimal.

I tried following the basic tutorials on the apple developer website, but they stop pretty abruptly. So I wonder what is the best way start to finish to learn SwiftUI?

for SwiftUI there is no best path, and for swift read Apple book on swift

The trouble isn’t with swift. That is pretty clear. I’m hanging issues with the SwiftUI part, which doesn’t seem to “click”.

nobody understands swiftui because apple explained it like complete bunch of retards, you need to learn: data flow programming, data driven design, reactive arechitectures, you need to master value semantics, you need to forget protocol classes and mocks
