The Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) are still relevant and important for designing apps across Apple platforms. The context provided does not suggest that the HIG are no longer relevant. Instead, it highlights how SwiftUI and other frameworks are evolving to provide more customization and interoperability across platforms, while still adhering to the principles outlined in the HIG.
For example, in the session SwiftUI essentials, it is mentioned that "The human interface guidelines describe components, patterns and their platform considerations." This indicates that the HIG continues to play a crucial role in guiding the design of user interfaces across different Apple platforms.
Additionally, the session Platforms State of the Union discusses how SwiftUI allows for customization and fine-tuning of the look and feel of apps, which aligns with the principles of the HIG to ensure a consistent and intuitive user experience.
