In the last 10 years, iOS developers spent quite some effort on developing frameworks and tools allowing faster porting of their applications to macOS \u2013 but those have their limitations and struggled with Apple\u2019s iOS fast development pace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At WWDC 2018 Apple announced that they are working on an official toolset \u2013\u00a0project Marzipan<\/a>. They showcased the technology in macOS Mojave.<\/p>\n

Building the iOS App for MacOS With Catalyst<\/h2>\n

We were eager to play with the new technology and as soon as it became available in Xcode 11 beta, we used it to build a native Mac app from our\u00a0iOS client code-base<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We presented it running on macOS Catalina beta at the ownCloud Conference and shared our learnings from this experiment.<\/p>\n

Watch the talk on YouTube!<\/a><\/p>\n

You can find the code of the project\u00a0on GitHub<\/a>, in the occon\/catalyst branch of the new iOS app.<\/p>\n
