Highlights
We provide a wide variety of building blocks including: windows and layout of their content; drawing and graphics support; enabling new input devices and other hardware features; responding to user events; user controls like buttons, sliders, and tables; document management infrastructure; and many others. Because we have the privilege of collaborating closely with the Swift, Xcode, design, and framework teams up and down the software stack, we believe Apples UI frameworks can be - by far - the best app development experience in the world.
