Storyboards

Nice Pick

Developers should learn Storyboards when building iOS or macOS apps with Xcode, as they streamline UI design and reduce boilerplate code for navigation

Pros

  • +They are particularly useful for rapid prototyping, creating simple to moderately complex interfaces, and when working in teams where visual clarity aids collaboration
  • +Related to: xcode, swift

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

SwiftUI

Developers should learn SwiftUI when building modern Apple applications, as it is the recommended framework for new projects due to its declarative syntax, cross-platform compatibility, and seamless integration with Swift

Pros

  • +It is particularly useful for creating adaptive UIs that work across different device sizes and orientations, and for projects requiring rapid prototyping or iterative design changes, thanks to its live preview feature in Xcode
  • +Related to: swift, xcode

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. Storyboards is a tool while SwiftUI is a framework. We picked Storyboards based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.
