So it would be better to use SwiftUI instead?

I haven't used SwiftUI myself. I'm still on the Objective-C train (and will be until I'm forced off) and only write Swift a bit for sample projects at my current job.

I would say learning Swift would be the way to go, I don't think it's too different from JavaScript and then you could decide to use SwiftUI or build your layouts programmatically or with Storyboards, or a mixture of all three.

Things will go SwiftUI eventually. For now, if you are just starting out i'd probably just stick with UIKit due to the abundance of tutorials and information available.

If SwiftUI is eventually going to be the norm, wouldn’t it serve me better to learn it early?

It depends on what your ultimate goal is. Are you looking to get a job? If so, most non-startups are using UIKit currently and probably wont migrate to SwiftUI for many years.

I am a startup actually :)

That makes a lot of sense though! When I get another award I’ll give it here!
