UIKit vs SwiftUI: what are the trade-offs and when do you choose each?
Answer
UIKit is mature and flexible; SwiftUI is declarative and faster to iterate.
SwiftUI benefits: previews, state-driven UI, less boilerplate.
UIKit benefits: full control, stability, legacy codebases.
Many teams use hybrid apps: SwiftUI for new screens, UIKit for complex flows and existing infrastructure.
