Will SwiftUI be ready for its debut in this September?

Any chance that engineers at Apple will postpone the release of SwiftUI in this September and work on it until it is ready for the public? 🤔 What do you think?

It would be wise to hold off on releasing it, I think. For simple views, it's great, but I think there are a lot of things out there that need to be flushed out. There's no TextView for example. That was useful in my app. One Apple gent said that SwiftUI will be the end of view controllers. It seems like that's a ways off.

I doubt it. I expect it will come with iOS 13 GM and be expanded on and updated over time, even if big updates. Kinda reminds me of... Swift itself!

My impression is that they haven’t even really nailed down the baseline API yet. I’m sure they will release on time, but any software releases using the initial release will likely spend a lot of effort using the representables to Wrap UIKit/AppKit controllers for a good chunk of the work.
