SwiftUI is designed to minimize bugs, particularly those related to UI updates. According to the SwiftUI essentials session, SwiftUI automatically keeps your UI up to date when your view state changes over time, eliminating both boilerplate and update bugs. This is achieved by maintaining a representation of the user interface behind the scenes and updating the UI as data changes.
Additionally, the Platforms State of the Union session highlights that SwiftUI is used extensively across various Apple platforms and apps, including core system experiences like Control Center, Notification Center, and Finder. This widespread adoption suggests a high level of reliability and performance.
Moreover, SwiftUI has been continuously improved with new features and capabilities, such as enhanced graphics, scroll view control, and interoperability with UIKit and AppKit, as mentioned in the What’s new in SwiftUI session.
In summary, while no software is entirely free of bugs, SwiftUI is designed to reduce common UI-related bugs and is widely adopted and trusted across Apple's ecosystem.
