Also, 10+ yrs of UIKit on stack overflow, etc.

I always looked for a video like this. Thanks!

I love SwiftUI 😍😍

Communication from subs to you seems important so .. waiting for more uikit as someone looking to get into iOS development as a career. Thanks!

swiftUI is the future of ios development, and that's that.

Very well said. I do UIKit but learning SwiftUI

Thanks for sharing these thoughts!

In fact, I like about your teaching style or approach; you can break down complex subject into simple and easy understanding way. Hope you can make more MVVM with Json tutorial examples. Thanks.

I love both actually im learning all from your videos sometimes im overwhelmed because i dont know what first but its great.

This is very informative and helpful. I just finished my first app using UIKit and I was pretty hesitant and indecisive between choosing SwiftUI or UIKit. Eventually, went with UIKit for the same reasons you have mentioned. Now, I'm gonna spend more time learning SwiftUI just for fun.

Love these new style of videos! Btw, I gotta thank you for teaching on KZfaq. I’ve been watching for over 1 year, and last week I finally got my first job as an iOS engineer. I learn so much from you! Keep up the great work!

It is nice to see the person behind the voice! Great video, man! Please keep em coming! Thanks!

Great vid. I like your attitude in general, you crumble things into basis. I will stick with your channel and learn from you, thanks :)

I live both! Good perspective though. Totally right about how many companies won’t have a business case to transition to SwiftUI anytime soon. My company’s code base is still majority objc!

yes i like the camera work and the approach! keep it up brother 👍

Just started learning SwiftUI and m loving it... it's making my life so much easier. Learning Combine side-by-side. iOS development is going to be fun in future.

More videos about iOS interviews and tips for landing your first job, keep up the great content!

Do you think you'll add some of your courses to udemy teaching UIKit along with Swift 5 ? I have your introductory swiftui course, but I definitely agree UIKit is necessary to get a job as swiftui is still new, and not much help for it on stackoverflow.

Fantastic advice couldn’t agree more especially about getting a job

I just got into iOS development 2 days ago for myself and I always go for newer stuff. I like SwiftUI. I don’t find it limiting so far and cross platform is awesome . - I got handwriting recognition - Text and object based recognition through camera - JSON reading - Beautiful on boarding screen

Definitely, working with UIKit before starting with SwiftUI.

SwiftUI is the future. Might as well get use to it at this point. Especially a year after this video came out

I would love more swift ui videos, im building a new app and need all the swift ui videos

SwiftUI is for Apple to use for writing one set of code that can be applied to all of apple products e.g. CarPlay, Watch, Apple TV, and iphone/ipad, desktop , whereas UIkit can't be applied as one platform for all.....SwiftUI is the future of Apple company,.... Simple, no more argument.

It’s not about what you have, it’s about how you use it!

For me if it’s just about building the app, SwiftUI just feels newer. I’m pretty good in SwiftUI but my concern is that when I look for a job, either they won’t know what framework their developers need or they’ll still be using UIKit.

Great video! Agree with most of your arguments. I do however think that rewriting your app into SwifUI can be worth if you care about accessibility. In my experience you get so much more for free then with UIkit.

What do you suggest for building apps for Apple developer ?

I think the mistake that many people make is taking an either or approach to this. UIKit is a mature framework and it's not on its way out as some people are saying. Apple will continue to support it for years to come. SwiftUI is a faster, more modern approach to UI development and while it has come a long way in 3 years, it'll continue to evolve and support more and more functionality in the years to come. Think about this for a moment, UICollectionView was introduced in iOS 6, which means we didn't have a collection view for 6 years and compositional layout was introduced in iOS 12, which is another 6 years before we got a really nice solution to this problem. Then you have people complaining that SwiftUI doesn't have everything that UIKit has this early in its life - that's a joke. Both UIKit and SwiftUI are easy to learn, so learn both and use both. You can use a UITableView or UICollectionView and then build your cells in SwiftUI, or you can build in SwiftUI and use a UIRepresentable to host a ViewController in your SwiftUI app. It's like watching Mandalorian, without ever watching any of the Star Wars movies. The series stands by itself, but having the back story from the movies can add so many more dimensions to the story. Therefore, even if you plan to only ever build in SwiftUI, I recommend you build a few things with UIKit just for fun - don't use storyboards or nibs, do everything in code and you'll be surprised at how much better you'll be at building iOS apps.

You tackled this subject from the correct mindset. As a newer indie dev I think SwiftUI is the choice. But of course if you are looking for a job in most industry and they have legacy code you must know UIKit. I learned UIKit first and then jumped into SwiftUI because for me it is much more enjoyable to write SwiftUI code. And since I am a retired software developer I get to make my own choice. Great perspective, especially coming from someone that has a very deep background in UIKit! Thanks for removing the emotion and attacking the question from a reasonable perspective!

The audio level of the background music made listening a tad challenging for me personally. Thank you for your thoughts on the two frameworks!

I agree with most of what you said besides the startup part. Choosing SwiftUI over UIKit on an actual startup on a serious backend would be a poor choice. On a simple productivity app it’s great!

I've done both, but UIkit imo is important to build fundamentals. many companies will require proficiency in UI kit way prior to knowing swift ui. i think apple should add xml functionality in Ui kit so developers can manage apps different from being a UI designer. picking up a reactive framework is way ahead of a beginner starting to learn to code.

love this new style of video! would deffo like to see more videos in this style. strikes a great balance between Swift tutorials and vlog style videos. I personally prefer SwiftUI but a good balance between UIKit videos and SwiftUI videos would be good.

Just beginning learning. I was learning SWIFTUI now will switch to UIKIT and keep SwiftUI for weekend learning.

It’s great but not production ready… I feel a lot of tutorials are misleading with SwiftUI. They show you how to make a nice looking user interface but that’s all there is to it. Core functionality is missing in SwiftUI. Don’t get me wrong I love SwiftUI and have released an app with it but just doesn’t offer what UIKit offers

Agree on the state of the job market today and the reluctance to rewrite for the sake of rewriting. One thing I think you might have missed there though is how ground is lost in tiny increments at first and then massive chunks as its accepted that fashion has changed. Then the burden of left behind kicks in. UIKit is/was great but declarative, reactive engineers are available elsewhere outside the typical ios development bubble and the move to SwiftUI will likely bring in loads more engineers than additional new features in UIKit will. As soon as that fashion shifts and engineers start prioritizing projects for the purposes of commercial experience with SwiftUI then companies will shift to keep attracting talent. Did all that jQuery need to be rewritten in react? No but it was because people wanted an attractive stack that drew good engineers. The same effect will happen with SwiftUI as long as apple pimps it out accordingly and if it's a fully cross platform offering it will be lapped up because engineering efficiencies will eventually be worth the initial spend.

Yo yo! The background music is a bit loud and distracting in this vid, but otherwise, nice to see the new style!

Wish you could make a big project in UIKit with RxSwift, that would be awesome !)

I just go with what ever the API I’m using uses. The documentation is easier to read if it’s in the same language Google APIs uses UIKit so I use it.

Loved hearing your thoughts. I personally did not like the music in the background as I found it distracting when trying to focus on your voice - could you tone it down or just cut it out completely next time? Just my take on it, Thanks!

Hey! Can you make a video about how to get a job in apple?

Uikit + asyncdisplaykit secret of magic for ios.

Music was a tad too loud, but overall great video!

More UIKit tutorials would be nice!

Widgets don't work in UIKit isn't it?

iwish some videos about Augmented Reality

nice

good

Please add lifetime member ship

(Is UIKit Better?) - yes
