# makeUIViewController(context:) Creates the view controller object and configures its initial state. ``` @MainActor @preconcurrency func makeUIViewController(context: Self.Context) -> Self.UIViewControllerType ``` ## Parameters `context` A context structure containing information about the current state of the system. ## Return Value Your UIKit view controller configured with the provided information. ## Discussion You must implement this method and use it to create your view controller object. Create the view controller using your app’s current data and contents of the `context` parameter. The system calls this method only once, when it creates your view controller for the first time. For all subsequent updates, the system calls the [`updateUIViewController(_:context:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/UIViewControllerRepresentable/updateUIViewController(_:context:)) method. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
