Appwrite Swift

This is your go-to when you're building Swift apps that talk to Appwrite's backend. It covers the full stack: client-side auth with email and OAuth, database operations using the newer TablesDB API (not the deprecated Databases class), file uploads, real-time subscriptions with async/await, and server-side admin tasks like user management. The examples are practical and show named parameters, which is the recommended style. One nice touch: it actually explains the difference between varchar, text, and mediumtext string columns so you don't blow your row size budget. If you're doing iOS, macOS, or server-side Swift with Appwrite, this beats digging through the official docs every time.
