My Problem is this, I want to add some component to my App I saw in some other App. Everytime I wnat to do this, I start googling around for the name. It took me some time to find the name of UIActionSheet. Now I'm looking for that transparent overlay that appears when you turn the volume up and down.
So, is there a good visual guide to the UIKit components? As an example, see the visual guide to swing components or this visual guide which is way to short/incomplete. And secondly, what's the name of the component I'm looking for?

UIKit also includes support for animations, documents, drawing and printing, text management and display, search, app extensions, resource management, and getting information about the current device.
SwiftUI is limited and works better with iOS 14 and iOS 15. On the contrary, UIKit enables you to support even iOS version 9.0. This makes UIKit more flexible. It surely wins against SwiftUI when it comes to backward compatibility.
UIKit is a high-level Objective-C framework that manages the graphical front-end of the iPhoneOS. It is a public framework, and therefore its documentation can be found on Apple's iPhone Dev Center.
The UIKit framework provides the core objects that you need to build apps for iOS and tvOS. You use these objects to display your content onscreen, to interact with that content, and to manage interactions with the system.
The iOS documentation has a section called iOS UIKit UI Catalog that shows the various UI features by name with links to the API docs and recommend how and when they should be used.

Apple has provided a sample iPhone application called UICatalog. It lists all (or most?) of the standard UIKit component in different variants.
You can download the sample from here.
