Welcome to the second edition of macOS by Tutorials.

The first edition of this book was published in April 2022 and a lot has changed in the Swift and SwiftUI world since then. macOS itself has also seen a lot of changes, with macOS Ventura and Sonoma, and there have been lots of improvements to Xcode.

In 2023, Kodeco (formerly raywenderlich.com) changed their approach from being similar to a library to becoming more like a school or college. Sadly, this meant that they were no longer going to publish books like this one. However, since it is now out-of-catalog, they have allowed me to take over the book and publish in my own name.

I’d like to acknowledge their assistance and pay tribute to the editors who worked with me on the original edition: Richard Critz, Audrey Tam and Ehab Amer. Special mention to Manda Frederick who was the book manager for the first edition and without whom, this book would never have been written. Also a big thank you to Matt Derrick, CEO of Kodeco, who agreed to and arranged the transfer of this book to me.

Every project in this book has been updated to macOS Sonoma and Xcode 15.

The major changes in this edition include:

I hope you enjoy this updated edition of macOS by Tutorials.
