swiftui-uikit-interop

To wrap a UIKit view controller in SwiftUI, use the UIViewControllerRepresentable protocol to bridge the imperative UIKit component into your declarative SwiftUI hierarchy. This pattern allows you to integrate complex UIKit screens while maintaining compatibility with your existing codebase.

The best way to embed SwiftUI views inside a UIKit app is by using UIHostingController. This allows you to host declarative SwiftUI screens within legacy UIKit view controllers, facilitating incremental migration and gradual transitions to the modern UI framework.

You use UIViewRepresentable to integrate UIKit components like WKWebView or MKMapView in SwiftUI by creating a wrapper struct. This pattern bridges the imperative UIKit view and its delegate handling into your declarative SwiftUI screen, enabling the use of UIKit-specific features.

Yes, you can migrate a UIKit app to SwiftUI incrementally by using UIHostingController and representable protocols. This approach lets you rewrite individual parts of your application in SwiftUI while maintaining full compatibility with your existing UIKit foundation.

Bridging navigation and data flow between SwiftUI and UIKit requires using UIHostingController and representable protocols to pass data across paradigms. This interoperability pattern connects the imperative UIKit navigation stack with the declarative SwiftUI state management.
