Apple likely won't merge iOS and macOS this year.

Near the end of 2017,Bloomberg reported that apple was working on PROJECT MARZIPAN, an effort to allow for the creation of cross platform app that would work on both iOS and macOS.
The report also mentioned the company would announce it publically at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference(WWDC) in June- but according to John Gruber who follows developments at apple closely and writes about it on his so much lauded blog Daring Fireball, PROJECT MARZIPAN may not arrive quite so soon.

Gruber noted that, per his sources Marzipan is a declarative control API of sorts,which seems to be a trend among tech firms building UI frameworks these days.This does not specifically imply cross platform support,but it's one way of going about things if that's the company's goal.


He also spectulates that this won't materialize in 2018, and certainly not in time  for WWDC in june; rather, it's possible that it will be on the agenda closer to when macos
10.15 and iOS13 arrive, sometime in 2019.

it's also worth noting that apple CEO TIM COOK does not seem especially keen on merging the two platforms just yet. speaking to the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD eralier this month, he addressed the question saying fans are not big on the idea either.


As,I noted noted in my coverage, allowing iOS and macOS devices would lower development and maintenance costs for creators, as well as the price of apps for users who invested in apple's ecosystem....
