What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a clear decision-making framework for choosing between SwiftUI and UIKit/AppKit, ensuring a modern, SwiftUI-first approach while offering practical fallback strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prioritize SwiftUI: Guides developers to use native SwiftUI APIs whenever possible.
• Fallback Strategies: Details how to effectively wrap UIKit components using UIViewRepresentable and UIViewControllerRepresentable.
• Embedding SwiftUI: Shows how to integrate SwiftUI views within existing UIKit/AppKit codebases using UIHostingController.
• Use Case: When building a new feature, this skill helps you decide whether to implement it directly in SwiftUI, wrap a UIKit component like WKWebView, or use a full UIKit screen if necessary.
