macOS Development
You MUST use this skill for ANY macOS-specific development including windows, menus, sandboxing, distribution, AppKit bridging, and macOS SwiftUI differences.
Quick Reference
| Symptom / Task | Reference |
|----------------|-----------|
| Window management (WindowGroup, Window, MenuBarExtra) | See skills/windows.md |
| Menu bar, commands, keyboard shortcuts | See skills/menus-and-commands.md |
| Table, Inspector, NavigationSplitView, focus | See skills/swiftui-differences.md |
| App Sandbox, file access, security-scoped bookmarks | See skills/sandbox-and-file-access.md |
| Developer ID, notarization, Sparkle auto-updates | See skills/direct-distribution.md |
| NSViewRepresentable, NSHostingController, AppKit bridging | See skills/appkit-interop.md |
Cross-Suite Routes
These topics overlap with macOS development but live in separate suites:
SwiftUI (shared iOS/macOS)
- View state, data flow, @Observable → See axiom-swiftui
- Navigation (NavigationStack basics) → See axiom-swiftui (skills/nav.md)
- Layout (ViewThatFits, AnyLayout) → See axiom-swiftui (skills/layout.md)
- Animations → See axiom-swiftui (skills/animation-ref.md)
Data & persistence
- SwiftData, Core Data, GRDB → See axiom-data
- CloudKit sync → See axiom-data
Concurrency
- Swift 6 concurrency, actors, Sendable → See axiom-concurrency
Other
- Accessibility (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type) → See axiom-accessibility
- Networking (URLSession, Network.framework) → See axiom-networking
- Security (Keychain, passkeys, encryption) → See axiom-security
Conflict Resolution
axiom-macos vs axiom-swiftui: When working on a macOS SwiftUI app:
- Use axiom-macos for macOS-only concerns: windows, menus, commands, sandboxing, distribution, Table, Inspector, AppKit bridging
- Use axiom-swiftui for cross-platform SwiftUI: navigation, layout, state management, animations
- Both may apply: A macOS app using NavigationSplitView with Table needs axiom-macos for Table specifics and axiom-swiftui for NavigationSplitView basics
axiom-macos vs axiom-security: For sandbox and code signing:
- Use axiom-macos for macOS App Sandbox, security-scoped bookmarks, file access entitlements, Developer ID signing
- Use axiom-security for Keychain storage, encryption, passkeys, certificate management
