iOS UIKit framework coming to macOS in 2019

Interesting. I use an iBook and iPhone extensively. I find the iBook useful for certain things, but I hate it for running applications that I need to get work done with. Curious to see what they come up with.

If you install the Mojave beta on your macOS system, you can test 4 of Apple's apps that have been ported from iOS and will be part of the next Mojave release.
I assume you mean "iPad"?

It does sound interesting, but I'm unlikely to try. I still have El Capitan installed, I'm conservative in upgrading. It always seems that upgrades end up as time sinks.
Yes, iPad! Tired I guess, or just getting old. :)

Yes, I have El Capitan on my Late 2008 MacBook and it's fine, but it's important to at least test apps on the current release. Obviously if you're doing Xcode, that's generally only supported on the current release of macOS and the previous release, so currently that would be High Sierra and Sierra. In the autumn when Mojave is released, that will shift to the latest Xcode only being available for Mojave and High Sierra.
In general, I've never had much problem upgrading or with compatibility, but things do change, often things that Apple does to try to make things more secure. For example, the introduction of System Integrity Protection (SIP) in El Capitan might have tripped someone up if they had never tested on El Cap.
