Develop native macOS app to control HomeKit accessories

I'm trying to develop an app to control HomeKit accessories in a way not available so far in macOS. How can I work around the absence of HomeKit Support for macOS in Xcode 16? Thanks!

HomeKit isn't accessible in an AppKit process, but most of it is accessible through macCatalyst. HMAccessorySetupManager and the other accessory pairing APIs are missing from macCatalyst but, in practice, I don't think that's a significant issue as most users pair through iOS or Home.app.

Hi Kevin, Thank you! You're making my day! Indeed, I don't need pairing functionality in my app.
