Interesting move we see from the big players to more declarative UI toolkits. First Flutter, now this.

I’m one of the engineers that spearheaded this initiative inside of Apple. I just wanted to thank the HN community—I’ve been reading HN for 10 years now and it’s been formative in my development as a software engineer. If you’re at WWDC stop by the labs and say hi!

Thank you! Looks like your work will impact me (and hundreds of thousands of other developers) every day.

Hi, great work! Is iOS 13 required to use apps made with swift ui?

I was fully expecting something along the lines of "Oh, and SwiftUI will compile to WebAssembly allowing your apps to look just as awesome and run just as fast in Safari."

Probably still in alpha...

Thank you, this is awesome! I've been hesitant to jump into iOS on my own time. This will push me to build something for fun now.

This is fantastic, and I am almost upset by how little info the keynote address included. Obviously there will be a ton of detail coming out this week with the labs and documentation being released, looking forward to that. As an iOS developer, this is by far the biggest announcement. This has huge potential to provide value to me and my team. I'm looking forward to ripping out programmatic NSLayoutConstraint and Int…

Details will be in the Platform State of The Union later today. Keynotes are always press/casual-fan focused

Can this retroactively support apps targeting iOS 12 and older?

What do you think

The "real" developer keynote is "Platforms State of the Union" which will surely cover a lot more of it. The morning keynote is for the press and executives to highlight latest releases with some dev stuff thrown in.

It’s nice to finally see a FRP framework for iOS like React/Elm. MVC must die already.

This is incredibly awesome! Did you get inspired by the web or by new frameworks like flutter?
