On Mastodon, we had a discussion about whether you are more or less productive with SwiftUI or UIKit/AppKit. Der Teilweise (@teilweise@layer8.space) chimed in with an actual, measurable benchmark: a flexible-width window, with reflowing text, and equal-size buttons. Doable in 10 minutes. Can SwiftUI beat this?
Animating and (de)activating Auto Layout constraints always leaves me puzzled at first. When on iOS, I try to not add constraints with explicit width/height values to train myself to rely on relative values. This helps me cover multiple screen sizes with the same settings.
I asked Lawrence MacFadyen on Twitter recently if his UIStackView animation wouldn’t work without an explicit width. Seems it does, so he published an updated post.
