Apple’s Use of AppKit, Catalyst, and SwiftUI in macOS
Alexandre Colucci (tweet, Hacker News):
As you can see in the graph:
- AppKit apps account for a huge percentage of apps
- After a slow start, the number of apps using SwiftUI is quickly growing
- The number of Mac Catalyst apps reached a ceiling [but see this]
[…]
And here is the corresponding graph if you split the apps in 6 categories:
- Catalyst apps using SwiftUI
- Catalyst apps with no SwiftUI
- SwiftUI apps using AppKit
- SwiftUI apps without relying on AppKit
- AppKit apps using SwiftUI
- AppKit apps with no SwiftUI
