He might be referring to Apple abandoning SwiftUI as there’s a rumor going around about it.

Rumors are worth exactly what you pay for them.

Any sources for this? Reason I'm asking is I have some old knowledge in Objective-C, earlier Swift and AppKit/UIKit and I'm considering brushing up my Swift and also learn SwiftUI.

Ahh well that’s very different and equally unlikely to be true! Current and previous household name employers are all-in on SwiftUI and it is unquestionably a valuable thing to learn. Something new always comes along but I’d bet a lot of money we’re not going back to UIKit
