eBook Description:

Catalyst by Tutorials: Bringing iOS Apps to the Mac: Run iOS apps natively on macOS with Catalyst!: Up to date for iOS 13, Xcode 11 & Swift 5.1

The Catalyst framework lets you port your iOS apps to macOS. But like everything else with Apple, it’s not always as straightforward as you’d like. This book will show you how to design your apps to work well on macOS, what you can and can’t port between the two platforms, and any other “gotchas” to keep an eye out for when building apps under Catalyst.

Catalyst by Tutorials shows you how to take all of those great apps you’ve build on iOS and run them right on macOS. But like everything else with Apple, it’s not always as straightforward as you’d like it to be. This book will show you how to design your apps to work well on macOS, what you can and can’t port between the two platforms, and any other “gotchas” to keep an eye out for when building apps under Catalyst.

This Catalyst by Tutorials book is for developers who have a good handle on building iOS apps and want to learn how to port those apps to run on macOS as well.

Catalyst allows you to take code that you’ve written for iOS devices and run it on macOS, opening up a whole new platform – and a new universe of users – that you can reach using your existing code and knowledge. But, there are differences in the platforms; you need to know these differences to make great macOS apps. Reading and understanding all the official Apple documentation, and even knowing where to look, can be challenging and time-consuming.
