SwiftUI itself does not directly use CALayer. However, it integrates deeply with UIKit and AppKit, which do use CALayer. This interoperability allows SwiftUI views to work seamlessly with views written in UIKit and AppKit, which can be backed by CALayer.
For more details on the integration and interoperability of SwiftUI with other frameworks, you can refer to the Platforms State of the Union session.
