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
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.
