So, put on your game face, grab your laptop and get ready to take notes.
- Open Xcode and create a new project.
- Select “macOS” as the platform, and then choose “App” as the template.
- Give your project a name and select “SwiftUI” as the User Interface.
- In the project navigator, open the Main.storyboard file. This is where you will design the layout of your user interface.
- Drag and drop UI elements such as buttons, labels, and text fields onto the canvas.
- Use the properties inspector to customize the appearance of each element.
- Add constraints to your elements to ensure they are properly aligned and sized on the screen.
- With your layout in place, it’s time to add functionality to your interface. Open the corresponding swift file.
- Use the
@IBAction
keyword to create actions for your buttons, and@State
to create state variables for your labels and text fields.
