How can I render the Xcode Preview to a iMac device when I develop a macOS app there is no real device in
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
All I see is the code I write but I would like to see the whole device before I even write a line code Apple is so inconsistent...
I Run Xcode on MacBook and iMac Pro and would like to see both devices in preview
Any help is highly valued!
Try the following:
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
.previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "Mac"))
}
}
The list of devices you can specify for that rawValue (as of right now) is:
- "Mac"
- "iPhone 7"
- "iPhone 7 Plus"
- "iPhone 8"
- "iPhone 8 Plus"
- "iPhone SE"
- "iPhone X"
- "iPhone Xs"
- "iPhone Xs Max"
- "iPhone Xr"
- "iPad mini 4"
- "iPad Air 2"
- "iPad Pro (9.7-inch)"
- "iPad Pro (12.9-inch)"
- "iPad (5th generation)"
- "iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (2nd generation)"
- "iPad Pro (10.5-inch)"
- "iPad (6th generation)"
- "iPad Pro (11-inch)"
- "iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation)"
- "iPad mini (5th generation)"
- "iPad Air (3rd generation)"
- "Apple TV"
- "Apple TV 4K"
- "Apple TV 4K (at 1080p)"
- "Apple Watch Series 2 - 38mm"
- "Apple Watch Series 2 - 42mm"
- "Apple Watch Series 3 - 38mm"
- "Apple Watch Series 3 - 42mm"
- "Apple Watch Series 4 - 40mm"
- "Apple Watch Series 4 - 44mm"
Apple's documentation is a little lackluster on this one, but some of the info for this can be found at this link: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/previewdevice
I paid for a macOS App that does a phenomenal job of sifting through the SwiftUI documentation (waaaaay better than what Apple put out). It's a little pricey, but if you're interested, it can be found at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-companion-for-swiftui/id1485436674?mt=12
