Overview of What's New in UIKit

At WWDC 2024, several enhancements and new features were introduced for UIKit, particularly in iOS 18. Here are some of the key updates:

  1. Document Launch Experience: UIKit now offers a redesigned launch experience for document-based apps, allowing developers to have full control over launch views and design. This includes first-class support for template document creation, enhancing the user experience when creating new documents.

  2. Tabs and Sidebar Updates: There are major updates to tabs and sidebars, providing a more streamlined and user-friendly interface.

  3. Fluid Transitions: New fluid transitions have been introduced across the system, making the user interface more delightful and engaging.

  4. Gesture Recognizers: UIKit gesture recognizers can now be directly added to SwiftUI hierarchies using the new UIJsRecognizerRepresentable protocol, improving interoperability between UIKit and SwiftUI.

  5. Automatic Trait Tracking: The trait system in UIKit has been enhanced to support automatic trait tracking, making it easier to handle changes and propagate data to view controllers and views.

  6. Apple Pencil Pro Integration: New features for integrating drawing experiences with Apple Pencil Pro have been added, including support for the squeeze gesture and updates to feedback generators.
