Description
Qt is supported and widely used on Apple devices, which indicates the interest of the community, however this requires users to use C++ or Python in order to write applications.
In most cases this is enough, but we know that people developing applications on Apple devices, needs to be familiarized with Swift.
Why Swift?
Since the beginning of Swift, you could see the influence of other programming languages, and how replacing Objective-C as the default language for Apple devices was the main goal. For that, the popularity of the language has been growing, and even if it's not as popular in other platforms as expected, still remains to be one of the most popular programming languages within the Apple ecosystem.
How to achieve this?
Relying on more idiomatic elements to simplify the process of having a Swift backend to a Qt Quick application.
