Simplifying Backwards Compatibility in Swift

A pattern for organizing version-dependent API usage instead of scattering availability checks.. An approach to encapsulating availability checks behind a clearer Swift API instead of repeatedly branching on iOS versions throughout the UI.

Why I saved this

An approach to encapsulating availability checks behind a clearer Swift API instead of repeatedly branching on iOS versions throughout the UI. Compare this with a lightweight @ViewBuilder modifier or a dedicated backport layer. The important trade-off is whether the abstraction stays understandable once the minimum deployment target moves forward.
