When will ResearchKit get the needed overhaul to be fully compatible with Liquid Glass? CareKit is a SwiftUI first offering with many customization points, but ResearchKit, its older sibling, hasn’t merged the SwiftUI work.
I’d like to see SwiftUI, distribution as a Swift Package, and more frequent versioned releases. Can anything be shared on the state of and plans for ResearchKit going forward? It is open source so there isn’t a good way to file feedback other than just sending to the HealthKit team.

We completely understand the need for these features and the eagerness of the community to be able to use the modern Swift and SwiftUI based development tools.
SwiftUI support is a feature we're thinking about. There is a dev/SwiftUI branch in the ResearchKit repo available on Github. If you have any feedback or feature requests, the ResearchKit team actively monitors all issues posted on the Github repo.
Regarding Swift Package Manager support, the ResearchKit team is also aware of this feature request. There is a public fork of the ResearchKit repo that has support for SPM as a pre-compiled collection of frameworks that may be useful for you: https://github.com/JawboneHealth/ResearchKit-xcframework
And again, for any feedback, feature requests or issues, we do actively monitor the issues posted to the ResearchKit repo on Github.
