How do I build a macOS app with SwiftUI?

Building a macOS app with SwiftUI is a powerful way to create modern and visually appealing applications. SwiftUI allows developers to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms using a declarative Swift syntax, enabling a more efficient development process.

Getting Started with SwiftUI on macOS

To create a macOS application using SwiftUI, follow these steps:

  1. Open Xcode and create a new project.
  2. Select "App" under the macOS tab and click "Next".
  3. Fill in your project details and ensure "SwiftUI" is selected as the user interface option.
  4. Once the project is created, you will see a default ContentView.swift file where you can start building your UI.

Basic SwiftUI Code Example

Here is a simple example of a SwiftUI view that displays a text label and a button:

struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Text("Hello, macOS!") .font(.largeTitle) .padding() Button("Click Me") { print("Button was clicked!") } .padding() } } }
