did it seem like swift charts would be supported long term? It seems interesting but I'm hesitant to use it if it seems like it might get axed

- cageface 2y agoApple is pretty good about not axing published APIs, unlike another FAANG company we could compare them to.
- monocularvision 2y agoInstead of axing the API, it will be allowed to languish with longstanding bugs going unaddressed in perpetuity. Not sure that’s better.
- cageface 2y agoThese are the choices we developers enjoy today. Pick your poison.
- frou_dh 2y agoI wonder if Apple do (or will) use Swift-Charts in their own major apps, e.g. for all the various metrics in the Health app on iOS.
- tmpz22 2y agoIm fairly certain they're using it in Battery Health and Screen Time. I've had a chance to use Swift Charts in some personal apps and am really impressed by it. It's so nice to have a native charting library available out of the box. As with all Apple APIs (especially newer ones) watch the WWDC sessions and read the Apple documentation first instead of trying to sling it. It makes it way more intuitive.
