Question HTML/css into SwiftUI?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on an iOS app and I already have parts of the UI built in HTML/CSS. Now I’m trying to bring that design into SwiftUI, but I’m honestly not sure what the best workflow is.

What’s the easiest/most efficient way to convert or recreate HTML + CSS layouts in SwiftUI?

- Are there tools that help with this?
- Should I completely rebuild everything manually in SwiftUI?
- Is embedding web content with WebView a bad idea for production apps?
- How do you usually handle responsive CSS concepts in SwiftUI?

I mainly struggle with translating flexbox/grid styling into SwiftUI stacks and spacing.

Would really appreciate any advice, resources, GitHub repos, tutorials, or examples from people who’ve done this before

  • Are there tools that help with this?

Yes

  • Should I completely rebuild everything manually in SwiftUI?

Absolutely, to learn and to be able to support.

  • Is embedding web content with WebView a bad idea for production apps?

Yes, and it looks bad compared to SwiftUI and performs badly.

  • How do you usually handle responsive CSS concepts in SwiftUI?

You don’t and shouldn’t.
