Install .ipa file using M1 MacBook
I recently purchased an M1 MacBook Pro. I've been working on one of my apps in Xcode. I created an archive of the app and exported it using the Development option. I then connected my iPhone to the MacBook and see it in the Devices and Simulator window. When I drag and drop the .ipa file, it shows up in the list in the Xcode window, but never appears on my iPhone. I am able to run the app in Debug mode from Xcode, so I know that the app can run on this iPhone. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a problem with M1 Macs?

macOS AppKit or Catalyst?
I've learned how to make iPhone and iPad apps over the summer. I have a few ideas for apps that I'd like to implement on the Mac. Some are only really useful on a Mac. I'm wondering if it is worth the effort of learning AppKit for these macOS only apps or can I do everything just using UIKit and Catalyst?

SwiftUI vs UIKit - new features?
I'me learning Swift and iOS development using the UIKit method. I decided to learn UIKit because I believe it is the most capable and I can use any API I can find, not everything is available in a SwiftUI App. I figure I can use SwiftUI after I master UIKit and decide where it is appropriate. As I watch the videos that have been coming out, I think my approach has been validated. I watched a video about Scribble and the new APIs to support it in your app. As far as I can tell, these APIs are only available in UIKit and not SwiftUI, right? UIScribbleInteraction and UIIndirectScribbleInteraction for example: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/handwriting_recognition I did watch a video on SwiftUI and I am intrigued by the new programming paradigm. So I'm looking forward to trying it out on a project. But I just want to check-in with the more experienced developers on this forum to see if I'm correct about learning UIKit first.
