| ### What can you use instead? |
| |
| We recommend that you follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and consider |
| using modern UIKit components or SwiftUI instead. Both offer a high degree of |
| flexibility through which you can express your product's brand while providing a |
| predictable and familiar Apple platforms experience for your users. You'll also |
| benefit from ongoing investments Apple makes in accessibility, ease of use, and |
| deep integrations with OS features. |
| |
| Alternatively, [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/docs/development/ui/widgets/material) |
| enables you to get a Material look and feel across all platforms. |
| |
| ### What maintenance mode means for MDC iOS |
| |
| Once we enter maintenance mode we will have the following support policy: |
| |
| - Releases will be cut on a best-effort and as-needed basis. |
| - Feature and support requests will automatically be closed. |
| - Bugs will be addressed on a best-effort basis. |
| - All iOS-specific documentation on material.io will be removed. |
| - We will no longer maintain any `.md` documentation on GitHub. |
| - Contributions may still be accepted, but reviews will be performed on a best-effort basis and are not guaranteed to result in a merge. |
