Is SwiftUI better than UIKit?

If you are a single developer, it is good to use storyboard because it consumes less time . If the team consists of many developers, use xib, otherwise, it is not easy to merge the modules/tasks.

So, to answer the question directly: yes should get busy learning SwiftUI because it is the future of app development on Apple’s platforms , but you still need to learn UIKit because those skills will be useful for years to come.

SwiftUI takes everything Apple learned from UIKit, and provides developers with much better features that are unavailable in UIKit . One of these features includes creating even more powerful applications while at the same time using less code than UIKit.

The biggest benefit of using Storyboards (especially over nibs/xibs) is that you can see how the screens in your app are related . … Another benefit to using Storyboards (over creating views programmatically) is that you get to see what your view will look like at runtime without having to run your app.

SwiftUI is not replacing storyboards ; it may replace xib in some cases. But IMHO, SwiftUI is still far from providing the capabilities of xib. Just read in SwiftUI forum to see how developers are struggling to replicate what is easily done with xib and storyboards and autoLayout.

The answer is YES ! Here we will be discussing a simple way to use SwiftUI into our existing project, which already consists of a storyboard.
