Mac Catalyst (UIKit for Mac)
Mac Catalyst, also refereed to as "UIKit for Mac", allows you to build [iOS and iPadOD](iOS projects to run natively on the Mac, while still being utilizing the UIKit and other iOS specific APIs and design paradigms. Applications build for this mode can also mix in AppKit and other macOS-specific frameworks.
Mac Catalyst is not a separate SDK or project type on its own, rather, it is an option on iOS project that can be enabled by setting the "Support Mac Catalyst" project setting to True
.
