I'd like to know if the non-React parts of the iOS app are UIKit or SwiftUI.



It looks like UIKit, the static analysis [1] shows numerous ViewControllers (eg IGSundialSingleVideoClipEditorViewController) with various UIKit lifecycle methods like viewDidLoad, rather than SwiftUI. There's also a surprising amount of Objective-C, in fact it looks like mostly Objective-C, at least all the IG-prefixed classes. Unusual for 2023.

It’ll be UIKit. It’s very easy to bind UIKit components to React Native. The same can’t be said for SwiftUI components

That said, if there’s any home screen widgets or a watch app, they will be SwiftUI
