The syntax used to declare an IBOutlet collection, if I'm not wrong, should be

class myViewController: NSViewController {
    
    // MARK: - Outlets
    @IBOutlet var collection: [NSButton] = [NSButton]()
.
.
.

But by no means I can connect such outlet collections to my objects in the storyboard.

Apparently, Outlet Collections have disappeared form Xcode 11.

As you can see in the picture, the Outlet Collection option has gone.

or the other way around

Is there some new feature I'm missing?

Thank you

Effectively, it is not available for OSX apps.

Neither in XCode 11 nor in XCode 10 or XCode 9.

Probably, that never existed in OSX Apps. So it's not gone, it never arrived 😉

But it works (with XCode 11 and older) in iOS App.

     @IBOutlet var buttonsCollection: [UIButton]!

You could file for an improvement request if needed.
