There are plenty of books, videos, and online resources for developing iOS apps. Despite the fact that iPhone and iPad apps require a Mac for code development, there is very little information about actually creating native Mac applications. The examples in this repository and the associated notes demonstrate various aspects of Mac app development using Swift and SwiftUI. Hopefully the examples and notes will provide a useful resource for Mac developers.

Example code is located in the scripts, xcode-playgrounds, and xcode-projects directories. Notes about the examples are provided below.
