The News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home apps were brought to Mac using iOS frameworks that have been adapted to macOS. Starting in late 2019, these additional frameworks will make it easier for developers to bring their iOS apps to macOS — providing new opportunities for developers and creating more apps for Mac users to enjoy.

Looks like UIKit is the future, despite protestations to the contrary.

Does anyone know where the hardware support is listed?

Interesting note at the end about News, Stocks, Voice Memos in that they were "ported" from iOS versions with "some minor code changes".

If that's the whole story, it would be pretty nice to be able to make apps that work on both platforms with only a few source differences.

I'm continually amazed at how much Apple hypes up the most pointless, useless, basic things. This is a new version of a major operating system, and we get... the desktop organized by filetype. A built-in stock application. How is an App Store update considered part of an OS update?

So, did they at last add support for Vulkan and OpenGL 4.6 in the system and Ogg/Opus in Safari?

I can't help shuddering everytime Craig presents (is forced to present? is paid to present?) the... omg... wait for it... the new set of animojis, on stage.

They are doing absolutely nothing to bring back gaming to Mac. Major developers (like Blizzard) who have been loyal to that user base for decades are giving up and it feels like Apple isn't even trying to figure out a solution.
