Still Using MVVM in SwiftUI? Here’s the Cleaner MVI Approach You Need to Know

If you’ve ever struggled with complex state management in SwiftUI, this video is for you. In this session, I’ll walk you through MVI architecture — an approach that’s becoming the go-to for large SwiftUI apps. We’ll start with why MVVM often breaks down as your SwiftUI projects grow, and how MVI solves those issues with a predictable, unidirectional data flow. We’ll cover: 🔹 What’s wrong with MVVM in SwiftUI 🔹 What is MVI (Model–View–Intent) 🔹 Reducer, Store, State, Intent, and Effects — explained clearly 🔹 A complete SwiftUI + MVI implementation in Xcode 🔹 MVVM vs MVI comparison 🔹 Best practices and pitfalls to avoid By the end, you’ll know exactly why MVI fits SwiftUI so well and how to apply it in your next project. 👇 Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:37 Why MVVM struggles with SwiftUI 2:44 What is MVI 4:34 MVI Components 6:50 MVI flow explained 8:10 MVI in code (Counter example) 15:19 MVVM vs MVI comparison 16:59 Best practices & tips 17:48 Wrap up + next steps GitHub Repo (for reference): https://github.com/pallavtrivedi03/MV... 💬 Drop your thoughts and questions in the comments — I’d love to hear how MVI is working for you! — 👨‍💻 About Me: I’m Pallav, and on this channel (iCode), we go deep into Swift, SwiftUI, iOS architecture, and backend fundamentals — not just tutorials, but understanding the why behind it all.
