I have found your comments enlightening. So if I understand correctly you have
three choices for a native UI on the Mac.
1. Objective-C which would integrate nicely with your C++ business logic using
Objective-C++. One problem is you have very little experience with the Cocoa
frameworks. Another problem is you are hesitant to pursue this path fearful
that down the road Apple may abandon Objective-C.
2. Another option is Swift but it has zero integration with C++. So this is
really not a choice at all.
3. A third option would be to combine all three. Keep your business logic in
C++ and combine with Objective-C using Objective-C++ and then bridge to Swift.
That does sound like a nightmare.
Looks like you are in a pickle.
