macOS UXKit?

[firewood]

So what is UXKit? And what might it be useful for above and beyond what one can do using the current public OSX/Cocoa frameworks?

From what I can tell, it looks like Apple is wanting to properly merge Mobile and Desktop development libraries. UXKit seems to be part of that.

With Content Sizes allowing us to use 1 Storyboard for iPad/iPhone and other once iPad-only views (UISplitViewController) now on the iPhone, I can see a time when we have 1 codebase for Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple added a "Large" content size for use on stuff like the iPad Pro (?) and the Mac. I think there is lots of value to this as there are far more iOS developers than OS X developers and hopefully Mac development will see an uptick.

I believe this is true and is very exciting for developers looking to create iOS and Mac apps.
