It's possible to wrap UIKit in SwiftUI (using UIViewRepresentable and UIViewControllerRepresentable), to do the things that SwiftUI can't yet do by itself. Those deficiencies will slowly be filled out, of course - there's no reason to stay exclusively with UIKit any more.

More significantly, SwiftUI introduces a new declarative paradigm - very different from what was before. It makes a lot of previously laborious things, easy.

So, yes - SwiftUI is the way to go, and it's ready to use now.

On iOS. The situation is very different on macOS, which is what was being discussed here.

These APIs exist for NSView (AppKit) as well:

Or is that not what you meant?

Yeah, I mean that it’s not ready to go.
