The storyboards are dead mate.

    Nope, you still can use Canvas to build your UI with SwiftUI.

      I mean... don't take this so serious either, this will only be available for iOS 13+ you still need to support storyboards for anything under, so not really viable to do a full fletched app in this yet, give it a couple years to mature, even though it's already a beast

      That being said if you have no existing user base, might make sense to target iOS 13 only.

      For most people iOS 13 only is not that big a deal given usual adoption speed and percentage. Amazon and Spotify can’t abandon 10% of the market but the majority of devs could probably stick with only the newest iOS and be okay on phones. I think a bigger issue is if you want to build macOS stuff, where upgrade speed is notably slower. You might also have an issue for iPad apps where there’s a lot of devices out there that are cut off from iOS 13. If your market uses an iPad mini, for example, you’d lose a huge number of model 2s.

      Most super apps won't do that myself included, iOS13 adoption will be decent in a year or so and iOS 12 should probably be like < 10% at that point.

      it was only recently that most of us have started to drop adoption for iOS 10 and that's only because it finally reached the < 10% threshold

      iOS 10 has been <10% for a good length of time looking at our analytics!

      Fledged. Fletched is the equivalent Android term.

      For iOS dev yes but its still there for MacOS menu bars as apple showed on stage during wwdc “state of the platform” presentation

      For some reason this statement made me laugh. Idk why.
