SwiftUI VS UIKit
What to learn first and thoughts about migration to SwiftUI and iOS 13
-
I was playing around with SwiftUI and was thinking about migration to it for my own apps and freelance projects.
Also, Swift VS UIKit question is interesting and hard to answer for everyone who just starting to learn iOS development right now.
So, I recorded a video with my thoughts on this topic.
-
Summary and some speculations:
For own App development, SwiftUI will be fine.
SwiftUI will be fine for Freelancing and jobs in small startups, but not faster than 6-12 months after SwiftUI release in production.
For regular iOS development jobs, UIKit will be must-have for at least the next 2 years.

What are your plans for SwiftUI learning? Starting right now or will wait for a year or two when it will be the must know?
