Component - Project structure

This UI shows the basic project structure of an iOS app in Swift. It helps you understand how files and folders are organized in Xcode to build your app.

Widget Tree

Project Navigator
├── AppDelegate.swift
├── SceneDelegate.swift
├── Assets.xcassets
├── Base.lproj
│   └── LaunchScreen.storyboard
├── Info.plist
└── ViewController.swift

The Project Navigator lists main files and folders: AppDelegate and SceneDelegate manage app lifecycle, Assets.xcassets holds images, Base.lproj contains storyboard files for UI, Info.plist stores app settings, and ViewController.swift contains the main screen code.
