[POC] Reuse ViewModels across SwiftUI and UIKit

[nuno-vieira]

Summary

This is just a proof of concept to see how feasible it would be to reuse view models across the SwiftUI and UIKit SDK.

Spoiler Alert: It looks pretty promising 👌

Further work

• We would need to make sure we do not import UIKit or SwiftUI in the ViewModels to make sure they do not depend on any UI framework
• We would need to expose a constructor to replace the "@Injected" dependencies from SwiftUI
• We would need to make the View Models, Formatters and all presentation logic part of LLC or create an additional framework
• Maybe even move SwiftUI to this repo?

Closing this one for now. But the PoC was a success and for sure validated that we can share view models between SwiftUI and UIKit in the future.
