Just in time, right when Apple is quietly abandoning it

Apple is abandoning Swift on Android?
I think you are confused with Objective-C.
That’s one I haven’t heard yet, do elaborate
He might be referring to Apple abandoning SwiftUI as there’s a rumor going around about it.
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
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.
Rumors are worth exactly what you pay for them.
