Where are system images in SwiftUI macOS App?

Question

Since Xcode Beta2, I been waiting and hoping that Image View with system images will be working for macOS App, as it does for iOS Apps.

To be more precise:

In a macOS App project, this line of code

Image(systemName: "star.fill")

produces the error: Extraneous argument label 'systemName:' in call

I just upgraded to latest Catalina and Xcode beta4.

I wonder, if anyone knows a workaround to this problem or know other information about when it will be possible to use system images in macOS Apps as it is possible in iOS Apps.

Answer 1

Doc announces it for IOS13, but nothing for MacOS

init(systemName:)

Creates an image object containing a system symbol image.

SDKs

iOS 13.0+Beta
tvOS 13.0+Beta
watchOS 6.0+Beta

Framework

UIKit

Declaration

init?(systemName name: String)

For MacOS, could you use NSImage(named:) and provide one of the system names as defined here :

Thanks for informing me.

I looked much forward to see the SF symbols in my macOS app. That they were not scheduled was not considered.
