So later you guys are going to use Chameleon framework as a start
to build your own UIKit framework?
There may be some code in Chameleon that is useful, but I'm not
certain, and the FSF's copyright assignment requirement would be
problematic if we did incorporate any.
what about QuantumStep is it related to building the UIKit also?
As far as I know, QuantumStep doesn't have a UIKit implementation.
It uses AppKit on mobile devices.
what do u mean by the missing part of CoreAnimation, is
CoreAnimation only in UIKit and not AppKit?
and isn't it implemented in the Chameleon implementation?
CoreAnimation is used by both AppKit on OS X and UIKit on iOS,
however AppKit predates CoreAnimation by about 15 years so can be
used quite happily without it. UIKit, in contrast, was designed
with CoreAnimation in mind and makes (very) heavy use of layers and
transitions. CoreAnimation is nice to have with AppKit, but is
pretty much essential with UIKit.
