Unit 6. The Effects & Custom TabView

🔥 UNIT 6 — ADDING MOTION & TRANSITION EFFECTS WITH CUSTOM TABVIEW (Swift / Xcode)
In this video, we expand the “BUILDING A CHAT APP FROM SCRATCH” series by adding smooth motion, transitions, and interactive effects to the app using a fully customized TabView navigation system.
This unit transforms the UI from static screens into a fluid, modern iOS experience.
We won’t add backend logic yet — this video focuses purely on animations, transitions, and view-to-view movement using SwiftUI’s TabView and animation APIs.

👉 What we’ll build:
A custom-designed TabView for switching between major screens
Smooth animated transitions when navigating across tabs
A floating or modern-styled tab bar (depending on your design)
Icon scaling, opacity fade, and slide-motion effects
Dynamic active-tab highlighting
Subtle movement when switching between UI Views

A fully responsive animation system ready for future logic integration
