10 Reasons Why SwiftUI is the Future of App Development.

SwiftUI is the way to go if you want to build awesome user interfaces on Apple platforms. It’s a declarative framework that makes it super easy to create your views, and it’s constantly evolving.

In 2020, we saw the release of SwiftUI 2.0, which included some major changes and improvements to the framework. And it just keeps getting better, with support for macOS Monterey and App Life Cycle enhancements in 2021, and Adaptive Layout in 2022.

But SwiftUI isn’t just about building views — it also integrates with the Combine framework, which allows you to declaratively process values over time. You’ve got publishers sending values and subscribers receiving them — it’s a powerful combination.

Now let’s talk about state. In SwiftUI, you’ve got @State — a property wrapper that indicates a piece of view state. It’s perfect for storing simple values like a toggle or a text field’s text. And when the value changes, the view’s appearance is automatically invalidated.

But sometimes you want a two-way connection between a view and its data. That’s where Binding comes in. It allows you to create a connection between a piece of view state and a view, so the view can read and write to the value and invalidate its appearance when the value changes.
