macOS Support

[brianmichel]

Pow seems really rad, but I'd really like to use it in some macOS applications! This is just an issue to start the discussion around this potentially rather large feature request.

Hi Brian, there's macOS support in Pow for everything but the most recent SoundEffects, even if it's poorly advertised. Of you just add the package to a mac target – it should work™.

I realize the Package.swift doesn't specify but we support macOS 12.6 and up, will try to get that fixed and add an macOS target to the Example app.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with in the meantime!

Here's a quick first pass at a macOS version of the Pow Example app: movingparts-io/Pow-Examples#2.

Thanks Robb, I’ll take a peak, please consider this issue closed for the time being!

I figured it would be better to add to this issue rather than create a new issue. I was wondering if it makes more sense in a cross-platform codebase to make code like this no-op rather than throwing an error, Type 'AnyChangeEffect' has no member 'feedbackHapticSelection'.

.changeEffect(.feedbackHapticSelection, value: self.isShuffling, isEnabled: self.isShuffling)

I'm porting an over to the Mac and while it's possible for me to add conditional compilation flags to solve this, there are a lot of call-sites (as I love Pow) and I figured it might be worth asking if the better approach was to have the API work but just not do anything on the Mac.

Yeah, good call – I have done similar things for navigationBarTitleDisplayMode.
