Top 23 Appkit Open-Source Projects

  • swiftui-introspect

    Introspect underlying UIKit/AppKit components from SwiftUI

    • Project mention: Can I add a blinking cursor to a TextField when using a custom keyboard? | /r/swift | 2023-07-06

    The SwiftUI Introspect package can probably help here. I know what the correct implementation is for NSLayoutManager in macOS, but I haven’t tried it in iOS.

  • macdriver

    Native Mac APIs for Go. Soon to be renamed DarwinKit!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • LocationSimulator

    MacOS application to spoof / fake / mock your iOS / iPadOS or iPhoneSimulator device location. WatchOS and TvOS are partially supported.

    • Project mention: ios free spoof? | /r/PokemonGoSpoofing | 2023-07-08

    If you are on Mac you can try LocationSimulator. I started using it a few weeks back and have had no issues.

  • Wave

    Wave is a spring-based animation engine for iOS and macOS that makes it easy to create fluid, interruptible animations that feel great. (by jtrivedi)

  • cacao

    Rust bindings for AppKit (macOS) and UIKit (iOS/tvOS). Experimental, but working!

    • Project mention: So You Want to Ship a Command-Line Tool for macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-21

    This is really specific, but for this point in the article:

    > There’s a long guide on Embedding a Command-Line Tool in a Sandboxed App, so I followed that, and then slowly, painfully, factored Xcode out of it, so that I wouldn’t have to figure out how to get a 10GB Xcode install onto the CI machine (remember, you need to be signed in to an Apple ID to download Xcode, and there’s no way to do it from the command-line).

    You could actually solve this with Rust and no Xcode whatsoever. cacao [1] and cargo-bundle [2] will produce an app bundle you could sign/notarize/distribute without needing to ever open Xcode.

  • RichTextKit

    RichTextKit is a Swift SDK that helps you use rich text in Swift and SwiftUI.

    • Project mention: It's amazing that SwiftUI lacks rich text editing features. | /r/SwiftUI | 2023-05-17

    Previously I used RichTextKit. Note how they’ve organized the code, all to prevent dangling references of TextViews. I’ve since moved on to implementing the editor as a native webview since I was starting to not see much benefit to implementing text editing natively.

  • Sourceful

    A syntax highlighting source editor for iOS and macOS using UITextView and NSTextView.
