AppKit

As a senior developer with a background in React, I recently embarked on a serious journey to learn SwiftUI, Apple’s modern UI framework for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. While I had dabbled with it in the past, I decided to give it another shot and dive deeper. My experience thus far has led me to some interesting observations. At first glance, SwiftUI bears a striking resemblance to React. From its declarative UIs to its embrace of immutability and data-driven UI changes, many of the core concepts introduced by React are present in SwiftUI....

SwiftUI is a revolutionary framework that has changed the way we develop iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS applications. It introduces a paradigm shift by rendering many existing Apple frameworks, such as UIKit, AppKit, and WatchKit, obsolete. The traditional approach followed by these frameworks is imperative, where developers manually define every aspect of the user interface (UI) and handle user events and data updates.
