Apart from UI-View being ancient and un-supported (Mandating deletion of
all the source code in your will? WTF?!?!!), using existing, well-tested
software is always a better option.

Go look at more modern alternatives to UI-View, please. There are many out
there. I'm a fan of YAAC [1] , which is cross-platform and gets regular
updates. It'll even run on a Rasbperry Pi.
