Built an macOS app (https://posturenet.app) to monitor my posture in real time with SwiftUI last year for fun.
The lack of support for Video and Camera from SwiftUI was the most challenging part for me as a newbie Mac dev.
Took me a few weekends to get the core part done (ML and algorithm), but hooking up all the UI components and connecting them with the video stream gave me so many headaches.
With that said, it was still much easier for me (complete newbie to Mac App at the time) to learn and develop in SwiftUI than UIKit.
Hope SwiftUI keeps getting better and keeps investing in the team.

You're getting downvoted because HN filters emoji, and because people who aren't on Apple devices won't see the icon you expect, because the codepoint is in the Private Use Area, so they'll see tofu.
