I expect more news is coming in WWDC, but in the meantime, the leaks have been pretty clear.

(Troughton-Smith is an early adopter and advocate for Marzipan.) We saw this in a sneak peak last year, and if you’ve updated to Mojave, apps like Apple News use the library now.

SWINSIAN IPHONE IS READ ONLY CODE
Grain of salt, etcĪnd sure enough, these reports also suggested that Apple would extend the use of a project code named Marzipan, meant to allow easy cross-platform development between iOS and macOS. I expect the four to be the next wave of Marzipan apps.
SWINSIAN IPHONE IS READ ONLY TV
I am now fairly confident based on evidence I don't wish to make public at this point that Apple is planning new (likely UIKit) Music, Podcasts, perhaps even Books, apps for macOS, to join the new TV app. Multiple reports suggested Apple plans new standalone apps that will match the desktop experience to the iOS one – starting with a tweet by developer Steve Troughton-Smith. iTunes on Windows and Mac right now involves a bunch of tools that have since become more differentiated on iOS – Music, Podcasts, Books, and TV (for TV and Movies). In April, news leaked that the next major release of macOS was expected to unveil that new desktop software, at last. The logic runs something like this: even though Apple last year squashed rumors of the end of iTunes and iTunes downloads, it does nonetheless make sense that once the company migrates to a new music app, the old one will be deprecated.
