I’ve used it for all kinds of production stuff over the years, from web to desktop and mobile apps.

Interesting, how do you distribute/publish those apps?

Web: create an executable distribution[1] and ship it to a server.

Windows/Linux/macOS: same as web, using cross-compilation[5]. Additionally for macOS, embedded in a Swift app and distributed as a .dmg[2] and on the Mac App Store[3]

iOS: embedded in a Swift app and distributed on the App Store[4].

What UI framework did you use for mobile?

It's SwiftUI. See [1] and [2].
