A settings view that is largely shared between macOS System Preferences, iOS Settings and icloud.com is not single-platform. Windows Settings uses React Native for the same reason.[1]

Edit: mention iOS Settings.
- boogies 5y ago> between macOS System Preferences, iOS Settings Why don’t those both use the same UI toolkit, like the convergent GNU/Linux DEs? (macOS seems to be getting more touch-optimized with each update — eg. making sliders giant and iOS-style; why hasn’t Apple merged Cocoa and Cocoa Touch into one yet?)
- gbear605 5y agoYou can already use SwiftUI to build apps that work on both macOS and iOS, so the libraries are there, Apple just needs to use.
- oefrha 5y agoAppKit and UIKit are very different. SwiftUI and Catalyst are the unification efforts, but uptake is gradual. Anyway, once you throw icloud.com into the mix it doesn’t matter.
