OS X Applications
T. Michael Rogers · Apress eBooks · 2015
Apple has worked hard to integrate the same technologies used in iOS development into OS X applications. This allows developers to create applications that operate on the entire Apple ecosystem, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The OS X App Store is another potential revenue opportunity for developers. The recipes in this chapter will help you build OS X applications. The more platforms your application is available on, the more useful your application is to users. Much of OS X programming is similar to iOS; however, the primary framework—AppKit—is a different set of user-interface components and APIs. In addition, OS X applications frequently use multiple windows, toolbars, menus, and other desktop paradigms. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
