I am fairly new to coding with swift and in xcode, so forgive me if there is a simple solution here, but I can't seem to find any of the cocoa resources. It is to my understanding that it is all native to the mac, yet when I create a new project in xcode, there is no option for Cocoa touch static library, or cocoa app or even cocoa framework. I am wondering how I may access these features and file formats? Any and all help is appreciated!

When you create a new project, did you select MacOS as the template for your new project (in the first dialog window that appears) ?

In the first example I set it up as an iOS game, and then tried to create a Cocoa framework inside of it, however I just created a new test document under the MacOS template, and it still does not provide me with any of the options associated with Cocoa

Could you detail this point ? What were you expecting ? What do you get ?

When I open Xcode, and create a new project, it appears all of the Cocoa utilities are missing. For example in the first window pain of creating a new Xcode project, going into the MacOS tab I would expect to find the options for cocoa apps and cocoa frameworks, however neither of those options are there.

Which version Xcode are you using, on what macOS?

Where did you download Xcode from? Where did you install Xcode?

Are you attempting to follow a tutorial? If so, have you confirmed it uses the same version Xcode as you are?
