Google will stop trying to make its iOS apps look like Android apps

Google says it will delete the use of the material design interface element in the iOS application supporting UIKPLE Apple itself. Jeff Verkoeyen, Head of the Company’s IOS design, announced changes to the Twitter thread seen by the threshold.

Introduced in 2014, material design is a Google In-House design language. The company has used it to unite the appearance and nuances of applications and services on various platforms. According to Verkoeyen, Google shifted the IOS Open Source material component library to maintenance mode earlier this year after doing a “deep evaluation” of what it means to build a “characteristic” Google experience on iOS. What was found by many of the special elements that began to build almost a decade ago to fill the gap in uicit design language no longer needed.

“With the introduction of significant swiftui and uicit repairs in iOS 14+, it was never as easy as this building a great branded experience with a small number of code,” Verkoeyen said.

With Shift to UIKP, Verkoeyen expects his team to spend less time building specialized code, which hopefully leads to releases that are faster and more often. In addition, the use of UIK little must allow companies to integrate software more stringently to iOS. However, the benefit may be pale compared to the fact that the company’s application might end more handsome on Apple devices.
