This section provides comprehensive documentation for the UIKit Framework API. UIKit is a powerful framework for building user interfaces on iOS, watchOS, and tvOS applications.

Overview

UIKit provides a collection of classes and interfaces that help you create user interfaces for your applications. It includes views, controls, and other components that you can use to build your app's user interface.

  • Views: The building blocks of the user interface, such as UIView, UIViewController, and UIViewControl.
  • Controls: Elements like buttons, switches, and sliders that allow users to interact with your app.
  • Layout: Tools for arranging your views and controls in a visually appealing and functional manner.
