A framework in Xcode is a collection of pre-written code that developers can use to build applications more efficiently. Frameworks provide a set of functionalities that can be reused across different projects, allowing developers to focus on the unique aspects of their applications rather than reinventing the wheel for common tasks. In the context of Xcode and Apple platforms, frameworks like SwiftUI, UIKit, and AppKit offer tools and components for building user interfaces, handling data, and more. These frameworks are part of the SDKs provided by Apple, which include a wide range of capabilities to help developers create apps for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and other Apple platforms.
For example, SwiftUI is a framework that allows developers to build user interfaces in a declarative way, and it interoperates with other frameworks to provide a comprehensive set of tools for app development. This interoperability is highlighted in the SwiftUI essentials session, where the integration of SwiftUI with other SDK frameworks is discussed.
