      I would recommend these following books:

      1. Cocoa Programming for OS X: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - https://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-OS-Ranch-Guides/dp/...

      2. Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - https://www.amazon.com/Swift-Programming-Ranch-Guide-Guides/...

      Not a book, but since your description asks for a "source":

      Developing iOS 8 Apps with Swift[0]: Stanford course with a great professor that focuses on learning Swift with a heavy focus on the iOS SDK. Really great for getting the fundamentals for iOS programming, and the course assumes a solid programming background (e.g., MVC).

      Book: Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides)[1]. This looks like it just came out, and I haven't read it, but I did read the authors' Obj. C Guide and their iOS Guide, and both were great, so I'm assuming the same for this one.

          Background:            Published over 170 books with many #1 rankings and some CS books curated in top research universities.
                                 Selection of CS books (published also on Kindle/Kindle Unlimited):
                                 - "Swift Programming"
                                 - "Perl Programming"

                                 - "Data Science"
                                 - "Ubuntu Linux Guide"
                                 - "Operating System Engineering"
                                 - "Prolog Programming"
                                 - "Networking"

                                 - "Hacker's Cookbook"
                                 When not writing CS books, I also write fiction (I write what I enjoy) that includes:
                                 - Zombies, Vampires, Robots/AI, Myth, SciFi (I like video games)
                                 So whether it be AI/ML/Data, Cyber, R&D, Engineering, or Game Development, I am hireable.

      <strike>While at launch it was a decent book, at this time the book is outdated, you are better off using Apple's book on Swift 2.2 (and soon 3).</strike>

      Edit: My bad I was talking about Swift Programming The Big Nerd Ranch Guide.
