Simple, but accurate drawing for iOS
I was having trouble getting R.swift to work with with SPM, potentially it's not supported yet? https://github.com/mac-cain13/R.swift/issues/735

Custom styling similar to Android for iOS
All resources in Android are referenced in a static class called R, so accessing to individual resources is pretty easy using R.[typeOfResource].resourceName. For iOS we use a library that does something similar, is called R.swift With that we can access resources in iOS using an 'Android like' sintax

Did you also know? In Xcode you can use the refactoring tool to wrap a literal string into a call to NSLocalizedString! Even better, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to make it even more efficient 🤓
Same was posted on the /r/iOSProgramming post for this, but I'm definitely not going back to using the raw NSLocalizedString call or extensions after I started using R.swift. Type safety and auto complete for all your assets is a real win in my book.
Or R.swift Clean and convenient solution.
