SwiftUI is Apple's declarative user interface framework designed to build apps across all of Apple's platforms. It allows developers to describe the UI they want, and SwiftUI takes care of the details like dark mode, dynamic type, and tracking changes in the model. This approach enables developers to share more code across different devices and platforms, making it easier to build apps that feel native on Apple's platforms with less code.

SwiftUI is built on a foundation of declarative, compositional, and state-driven views, and it integrates seamlessly with the underlying OS. It supports incremental adoption, meaning you can use it for new features in existing apps or build entirely new apps with it. SwiftUI also provides interoperability with other frameworks like UIKit and AppKit, allowing developers to mix and match views and controllers from different frameworks.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the following sessions from WWDC 2024:

  1. Platforms State of the Union (35:23)
  2. SwiftUI essentials (00:00)

These sessions cover the fundamentals of SwiftUI, its capabilities, and how it can be used across different platforms.
