If you’re just getting AI to build you an iOS app, is there any reason to use SwiftUI over UIKit?

Yes because SwiftUI is way more self contained and minimally verbose, it’s a better fit for LLM use than AppKit/UIKit

Yes, because SwiftUI is (really!) the best way to build new apps for iOS. Your AI can probably figure out when it needs UIKit to do what it wants.

Some new platform capabilities are only available in SwiftUI. But you can wrap that for use in UIKit.
