UIKit’s main drawbacks are its restriction to iOS (no cross-platform support), which means you can’t reuse code for Android or web platforms. UIKit is imperative, so it requires more manual coding than SwiftUI, leading to slower development and more difficult UI updates. Complex layouts or animations often produce larger, harder-to-manage code. UIKit also lacks some modern features found in SwiftUI, like instant previews, which accelerate UI development.
