UIKit vs SwiftUI: what are the trade-offs and when do you choose each?

Answer

UIKit is mature and flexible; SwiftUI is declarative and faster to iterate. SwiftUI benefits: previews, state-driven UI, less boilerplate. UIKit benefits: full control, stability, legacy codebases. Many teams use hybrid apps: SwiftUI for new screens, UIKit for complex flows and existing infrastructure.
