It's a nearly impossible task. Just ask Qt, who have been at this for thirty years.
- ardit33 1y agoSwiftUI is more realistic actually. UIKit, much tougher (more mature, more tied to the IOS ecosystem).

- cosmic_cheese 1y agoDon’t have links, but it’s true. iTunes for Windows also includes chunks of AppKit. The Windows ports of AppKit in both likely trace their lineages back to Yellow Box, which was the Windows port of AppKit that Apple briefly made available prior to the release of OS X 10.0.
- lukeh 1y agoMy understanding was Foundation and bits of CoreGraphics but not AppKit. Yellow Box required DPS.
