How we introduced Swift UI to Google and set new standards for development

Summary

Our team set out to redefine the way users experience music on-the-go. We undertook the ambitious project of designing and developing the YouTube Music app for Apple Watch, fully utilizing Swift UI—a first for any Google app. This not only cut our development time in half compared to prior projects but also allowed us to pioneer new performance benchmarks and analytics systems for watchOS apps at Google.
