Use SwiftUI with AppKit and UIKit

A Podkey summary of Use SwiftUI with AppKit and UIKit, from WWDC 2026.A lot of this week’s story is about how Apple keeps making the line between AppKit, UIKit, and SwiftUI less dramatic than people assume. The big theme is incremental adoption: automatic observation, SwiftUI views and scenes dropped into old apps, even menus and gesture recognizers crossing the boundary cleanly. And maybe the clearest example is a custom circular color picker built with Canvas, where new SwiftUI pieces can still reuse older drawing code and the same shared model.Automatic UI updates with @ObservableBack-deploying observationDropping SwiftUI into existing AppKitCanvas and the circular color pickerGestures, menus, and other bridge piecesSwiftUI scenes in old-school appsWhat Apple is signalingThis podcast was created with Podkey.
