Apple explicitly said so in a WWDC 2022 video. I think it’s the State of the Platform one, or if I’m wrong, the one titled like What’s New in SwiftUI. Their statement is that while UIKit and Objective-C will serve us for a long time, the best way to write new apps for Apple platforms is with Swift and SwiftUI.

I don’t believe that though. Swift is a great language, I agree, but UIKit is way ahead of SwiftUI and I would never use SwiftUI in a product where meeting deadlines matters, at least not in the next 3 or more years.
