Building apps for Apple devices in 2020


As someone new to Swift, what technologies do you use or recommend when it comes to building apps for iOS, iPadOS and macOS since cross platform apps using SwiftUI seems to be a thing now.

Are UIKit/AppKit still the preferred way? Electron on MacOS and UIKit on iOS/iPadOS?

If you are only building an app for Apple products, you should stick with native macOS apps. Electron is acceptable for cross platform apps. You will get a lot of benefits of sharing code if you do build native for iOS/iPadOS and macOS.
