Apple’s use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 17

“Now that iOS 17 is available, let’s analyze its built-in apps to answer a few questions: How many binaries are in iOS 17? Which programming languages are used to develop these apps? How many apps are written with Swift? What is the percentage of apps using SwiftUI versus UIKit?”

    I’ve used SwiftUI nearly exclusively for the last 2 years now. Most things work great and I have little desire to switch back to UIKit. I do wish it was more backwards compatible (not going to happen) and there are certainly rough edges where it integrates with UIKit.
