How do I handle state updates between the two frameworks?

State is synchronized from SwiftUI to UIKit inside the updateUIView or updateUIViewController methods, and from UIKit back to SwiftUI using @Binding properties updated via the Coordinator.

What is UIViewRepresentable?

It is a protocol that allows you to wrap a UIKit UIView so it can be used as a native component within a SwiftUI view hierarchy.

Can I put a SwiftUI view inside a UIKit app?

Yes, you can use UIHostingController to wrap a SwiftUI view, allowing it to be added as a child view controller or presented modally within a UIKit application.

When should I use the Coordinator pattern?

Use a Coordinator when your wrapped UIKit view needs to communicate back to SwiftUI via delegates, data sources, or target-action patterns, as it acts as a bridge between the class-based UIKit world and struct-based SwiftUI.

What is the best way to handle sizing for wrapped views?

From iOS 16+, you should implement the sizeThatFits method in your representable to explicitly communicate the UIKit view's size requirements to the SwiftUI layout engine.

Mobile Development

Bridges SwiftUI and UIKit frameworks by wrapping views and controllers to enable seamless integration and incremental migration in iOS apps.

This skill provides specialized guidance for integrating legacy UIKit components into modern SwiftUI views and embedding SwiftUI content within existing UIKit architectures. It covers essential protocols like UIViewRepresentable and UIViewControllerRepresentable, alongside the UIHostingController for reverse integration. Developers can leverage this skill to master the Coordinator pattern for delegate handling, ensure thread-safe state synchronization across framework boundaries, and manage complex layout requirements using intrinsic sizing and modern iOS 16+ layout APIs.
