Build Mesh Gradients In SwiftUI

This article explains how to create mesh gradients in SwiftUI using the MeshGradient API introduced in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, and other recent Apple platforms. It covers the basics of defining a mesh grid with vertices and colors, provides code examples for a 3x3 mesh, and demonstrates how to use MeshGradient both as a View and a ShapeStyle. The tutorial includes tips on positioning points for artistic effects, handling fallbacks for older OS versions, and integrating mesh gradients into app backgrounds and shapes. No Metal or custom shaders are required.
