UIKit vs Cocoa: what is the difference in Apple platform development?

The question is about UIKit .

Answer:

UIKit is designed exclusively for building user interfaces on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS via Cocoa Touch, providing touch-based UI building blocks. In contrast, Cocoa is the more comprehensive development environment for macOS applications and comprises not only UI (mainly AppKit) but also core functionality and system services, making it a broader framework on the desktop platform.
