As an iOS developer at The New York Times, I’ve worked on building features using SwiftUI, Apple’s latest UI framework, in an ecosystem built with its original one, UIKit. Both of these frameworks are used to build iPhone, iPad and Apple TV applications.
Our team has turned to SwiftUI for building out new features because the framework allows a developer to build out features faster with less code. When it comes to implementing this framework, my colleagues and I are learning what it can support and what workarounds we need to build for our app’s needs.
Our team supports the Core News App, the flagship app of The New York Times, by continuing to build valuable new experiences and improve its technical quality for our users.
