Is any function in swift similar to R.java in Android?
I am a beginner in iOS and swift.
I used to write Android and I think the R.java is a good idea to manage ids, drawables, strings and other resources. So I'm surprised that iOS does't provide a good function to access resources.
If I want to get a Image from assets, I call UIImage(named: "img_name"), but I don't think this is the best way to access img_name, I may use a wrong name and I can't get the image.
I found some open source project like Shark and SwiftGen, but Shark only support images and SwiftGen it seems need to run a command not automatically.
Do you have any better solution? Thank you!
I have a open source project R.swift-plugin it provides features as you mentioned. You just need to install the Xcode Plugin via Alcatraz and search R.swift
The plugin will automatically generate a resource file to manage your images, localizable strings and colors, and you can access them like using R.java

Sincerely recommend you to try it. And feel free to give me any suggestion to improve it :)
