That really comes down to whether or not Apple uses it themselves. If they port their various iOS apps to this new thing and have them replace their current macOS counterparts, then this thing is safe to use.
- valuearb 9y agoThat's not the point. I have no doubt it will be "safe" to use. But if it's going to be used for dumbing down apps, it's only going to be beneficial for enterprise and cross platform developers willing to make usability trade-offs to slash development costs. As a Mac/iOS developer, I'd only use it if I'm able use the merged classes to cross-develop on both platforms, while still implementing my UI natively on each. If it's just for making iOS widget apps run on MacOS, that's fine for others but it's not going to fly for many commercial applications. The problem is, as an iOS developer, I spent the majority of my time writing UI code to make our apps work as well as possible for users. Which means large tap areas, eschewing menus, minimizing scrolling areas, etc. Basically the opposite of good desktop design.
