If static URLs work that’s probably the easiest thing. Could even put them in another fit repo if you really don’t want to run a server 😅

My company currently uses it for iOS/Android native

Anything’s possible, but things would have to change a lot for Apple to make development tools for other platforms

I kinda doubt that will happen any time soon, at least not official supported from Apple. Someone could duplicate the API if they want I suppose? But I doubt the end result will be all that similar

If you can use the latest APIs MOST things are possible, and hopefully even more in the betas after WWDC in June. Good luck!

It’s 2025, chances are you don’t have a unique app idea. Don’t over think it, make something simple or make something you just want to make/use!

It’s for people who want to use PHP. Just like KMP is for people who want to use Kotlin and RN is for people who want to use JS 🤷♂️

What it wraps is an implementation detail. Most of SwiftUI started as using UIKit components under the hood, and many have changed things over time

Because that’s what’s modern. In a few years you’d regret building it in UIKit

Best skyline in the country!

Xcode has the one built in, but copilot’s better IME

I haven’t seen anything that feels modern…I wonder if this is actually a good time to build something new with the latest concurrency support 🤔

UIKit’s lineage goes back to OSX and even NEXT so of course it’s more stable. SwiftUI is being built for the future unlikely to catch up to UIKit for another ~5 years. Thats why it’s not deprecated. We can/should still use it

Hm…I wonder how hard it would be to change 🤔

I feel like the only place I’ve seen that is when Xcode stubs methods…Swift doesn’t even do it in Swift 😭😭😭 github.com/swiftlang/sw...

You can have them generated, yes. What you can’t do is know whether you have the legal right to use it. What you CAN know is it’s not IP you own 😬

It’s good other than when it isn’t 😅. Though it’s nice there’s at least some kind of autocomplete when the compiler version isn’t working. Which is…often 🤣
comment in response to

Ah I see! I suppose the Swift’s version of that is Collection’s map, reduce, filter, etc.

Do you have an example?

The latest is pretty decent, but lot of us have to work 3 versions behind 😬😭

Swift has the best enums ❤️❤️

Mark it @MainActor?

Can’t this year 😭😭
comment in response to

Yeah…I really hope it can be shipped with the compiler at some point 😞

In terms of bugs and things, maybe…though if that’s the only question why not open source all software?

Why would Apple be interested in SwiftUI being used on other platforms? Also, is that even possible? Depending on how it’s built that might require significant work. Nothing’s stopping anyone from duplicating the API, I think some have even done it
comment in response to
post
Why’s that? It’s far from the norm for Apple, so anyone familiar shouldn’t be expecting it

If you think swift has a lot of options you should see Kotlin 🤣🤣

IMO a linter is a must. SwiftLint is what I’ve generally used, but I’m considering SwiftFormat now that it’s integrated into Xcode. That said, the tooling for it isn’t yet as good as for SwiftLint, so TBD whether it’ll be a worthy replacement
comment in response to
post
Well I didn’t know the second one existed…🤔🤔
comment in response to
post
Yeah I definitely feel like I have less control over things compared to auto layout, but some of that is probably due to it being a new and different approach 😅

Also everyone saying Python tells me they’ve forgotten about it’s abhorrent Class syntax 🤣

Swift 🤓 (or maybe Kotlin if you’re anti-Apple)

JS has plenty to hate 🤣🤣

Swift does have decent official support for Linux, windows, embedded, and even some AWS environments. But yeah, outside of Apple platforms and servers, it’s used pretty rarely 😬

White space and that god-awful class syntax makes this a no for me 😅
comment in response to
post
Curious what use cases specifically you need it for. What I really want is an easier way to do proportional layouts
comment in response to
post
I wonder if focussing on generics in general might help? It’s not a concept unique to swift, but the protocol-aspect of it is more abstract than say, Array<String>

Ah ok, glad it’s working for you!

Oh nice! I haven’t seen any recently so maybe it’s working! 👏👏

Legitimately one of the most powerful tools in a language. Definitely takes some time to wrap your head around, but don’t give up! It’s worth it!

What versions are you supporting? Curious how many of my hurdles are due to needing to use the 3-year-old APIs 😬
