The sky is not falling. When/if Apple decides to deprecate Cocoa they will announce it many years ahead of time, like they did for Carbon back in 2012 (which was only officially killed in 2019). They typically make announcements like that at a WWDC. They aren’t going to stop supporting it and stop letting apps built with it from launching out of the blue. That would be a PR nightmare. So everyone please take a breath.
