# Mac Catalyst

> iPad 앱 → Mac 으로 minimal effort 포팅. **하나의 코드베이스, Mac native 느낌**. 단 비-Apple Silicon Intel + macOS 가 필요하면 native macOS app 고려. SwiftUI 가 새 표준 (multi-platform).

## 📖 핵심 개념
- "Designed for iPad": 그대로 (Apple Silicon Mac 만, no work).
- Mac Catalyst: 일부 코드 + Mac UI 적응.
- Native AppKit: 가장 강력 + 별 코드.
- SwiftUI multi-platform: 한 codebase 모든 platform.

## 💻 코드 패턴

### Mac Catalyst 활성
```
Xcode → Target → General → Supported Destinations → Add "Mac Catalyst"
또는 "Mac (Designed for iPad)" — 사용자가 그대로 받음
```

### Optimize for Mac
```
Build Settings → "Optimize Interface for Mac" = YES
- AppKit 비슷 controls
- macOS native fonts
- 더 작은 사이즈
```

### conditional compile
```swift
#if targetEnvironment(macCatalyst)
button.preferredBehavioralStyle = .pad // Mac 에서 더 작게
#endif
```

```swift
// SwiftUI
#if os(macOS) || targetEnvironment(macCatalyst)
.frame(minWidth: 600, minHeight: 400)
#endif
```

### Toolbar (Mac native)
```swift
NavigationStack {
    ContentView()
        .toolbar {
            ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) {
                Button("Add") { ... }
            }
        }
}
```

Mac 에선 자동으로 NSToolbar 로.

### Menu bar
```swift
@main
struct MyApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup { ContentView() }
        .commands {
            CommandGroup(replacing: .newItem) {
                Button("New Document") { ... }
                    .keyboardShortcut("n")
            }
            CommandMenu("Custom") {
                Button("Action") { ... }
                    .keyboardShortcut("a", modifiers: [.command, .shift])
            }
        }
    }
}
```

### Window settings (Mac)
```swift
.windowResizability(.contentSize)
.defaultSize(width: 800, height: 600)

#if os(macOS)
.windowToolbarStyle(.unifiedCompact)
#endif
```

### NSWindow 직접 (Catalyst → AppKit bridge)
```swift
// CatalystAppKitBridge — bridging SPM package
import AppKit

func setMacWindow() {
    NSApplication.shared.windows.first?.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true
}
```

복잡 — 그냥 SwiftUI 권장.

### 입력 (마우스 + 키보드)
```swift
struct ItemRow: View {
    @State var hovered = false
    var body: some View {
        HStack { ... }
            .onHover { hovered = $0 }
            .background(hovered ? Color.accentColor.opacity(0.1) : .clear)
            .onTapGesture(count: 2) { /* double click */ }
    }
}
```

### Drag & drop
```swift
.draggable(item.id.uuidString)
.dropDestination(for: String.self) { ids, location in
    // process
    return true
}
```

### File access (Mac 답게)
```swift
.fileImporter(isPresented: $show, allowedContentTypes: [.plainText]) { result in
    // ...
}

.fileExporter(isPresented: $show, document: doc, contentType: .plainText) { result in
    // ...
}
```

### Multi-window
```swift
WindowGroup(id: "editor", for: Document.ID.self) { $id in
    EditorView(id: id ?? UUID())
}

@Environment(\.openWindow) var open
Button("New") { open(id: "editor", value: UUID()) }
```

## 🤔 의사결정 기준
| 상황 | 추천 |
|---|---|
| iPad 앱 + Apple Silicon Mac 만 | "Designed for iPad" (zero work) |
| iPad + Mac 사용자 둘 다 | Mac Catalyst + Optimize for Mac |
| Mac 우선 + 강력 native | SwiftUI multi-platform |
| 매우 Mac-specific | Native AppKit |
| Game | SpriteKit / Metal (둘 다 Catalyst OK) |

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **iPad UI 그대로**: Mac 사용자 어색. toolbar / menu / shortcut 추가.
- **Touch-only gesture 의존**: Mac 마우스 호환 X.
- **Window 가 작은 화면 가정**: resizable + min size.
- **App icon 정사각만**: Mac 은 둥근 corner — 별도 icon.
- **Keyboard shortcut 누락**: Mac UX 핵심.
- **NSAppKit 직접 + Catalyst**: 어려움 — SwiftUI / 별도 macOS target.
- **Universal binary 의 Catalyst 만**: x86 arch 누락.

## 🤖 LLM 활용 힌트
- iPad 앱 = "Designed for iPad" 부터.
- 진심 Mac = Catalyst + Optimize for Mac + toolbar/menu.
- Mac native = SwiftUI multi-platform.
