Hi! I have a calculator app on the App Store and I was thinking of publishing on the Mac App Store as well. When running the app on the Mac via Catalyst everything in the app works fine aside from a basic function. When clicking the number buttons, the UILabel which is the calculator's "display" does not change and shows the default "0" value.

This is the part of the code:

Code Block  @IBAction func numberBtn(_ sender: UIButton) {
        if runningNumber.count <= maxLength {
            if OutletLbl.text != "0" {
                runningNumber += "\(sender.tag)"
                OutletLbl.text = runningNumber
                lastNumber = "\(sender.tag)"
            } else {
                runningNumber = "\(sender.tag)"
                OutletLbl.text = runningNumber
                lastNumber = "\(sender.tag)"
            }
        }
}

Legend:

maxLength = the max number of digits the display of the user's device can fit
runningNumber = the variable which stores the current number which is then displayed in the OutletLbl
OutletLbl = the calculator's display label with the problem in question
sender.tag = the value of the number button pressed
lastNumber = variable which stores the value of the last number button pressed for continuous operations

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Did you ever find an answer to this? I have the same problem with labels not updating for elapsed and remaining time in a music app I just converted with Mac Catalyst…
