Bring 3D to your App: Developing Native iOS Apps with Spline

‪@splinetool‬ - a multi-platform and multi-dimensional design tool - has recently introduced native 3D for the Apple Ecosystem. This means that you can easily build an interactive 3D app, combine 3D scenes with native Swift projects, generate a pre-built Xcode project directly from Spline, and once complete, you can publish it directly to the App Store.
In this tutorial, I will teach you more about this and how to use Spline to develop native iOS apps

This is exactly what I needed. I have been playing around with Spline recently and wondered how the animations/interactiity worked in an app. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the tutorial Brain! I especially liked how you are changing scene based on the scroll position, also wondering if you have explored other creative ways to manipulate the scene/spline object with code.

Especially looking at Apple Vision Pro I am eager to revisit what spline can do in the near future. Events and actions are currently being worked on: docs.spline.design/native-3d-embeds-for-ios

Hey Brian! I loved the tutorial and your great in depth explaination. I am wondering if us react-native folk can also use Spline for mobile applications. I’m assuming no but would love to know.
Ps: subbed :)

Hey, thanks a lot! You might want to check out github.com/splinetool/react-spline

Hey my man, I really liked your tutorial, and took a look at your patreon and previous video output. Are you going to continue making videos? I've never signed up to anyone's patreon, and I still haven't signed up to yours, but are you planning on making more vids in the future on a semi-regular basis? I know there's a TON that goes into making a vid, but I really like the way you explained this one and watched some other ones from 3+ years ago.

[@BrianAdvent]

Thanks a lot! My plan is to bring new content regularly this year. Hopefully every month or 1.5 months. The focus is going to shift a bit. Away from pure Apple development content to stuff that I feel is not explained well enough elsewhere. In the next weeks there will be a video or two about LLM embeddings: About what embeddings are, what kind of math is used with them, how to use your own data and create embeddings to ask e.g. GPT-4 questions about your data.

does it work on Android??

[@aydncanataberk4083]

Thanks for the video Brian! I'm trying to embed locally, changed nothing on the provided code, added the package but my simulator is crashing with the error "Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value". I've imported the scene to my root folder as you show here but it seems xcode can't find it. What am I doing wrong?

[@BrianAdvent]

Did you also add you .splineswift files to your project and activated "Copy items if needed" as well as added your files to your target? "Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value" could indicate in your case that a file could not be found and therefore you get a nil value.

@@BrianAdventumm ok fetching from the cloud is working but fetching from local not somehow. I think I did everything right, double checked your points and tried with few fresh projects but nope.

[@aydncanataberk4083]

Ok solved it thanks to your tutorial file!
