Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

Scene for my "Application's Menu About "My Application""

I am using SwiftUI to create an app and I have figured out how to present a scene for my preferences window. However I have yet to find a way to modify the "About "My App"" scene. I am not even sure how to ask the question on other forums because I keep getting informations on application menus.

I would like to find information on accessing/changing other menu entries in the menubar (in SwiftUI) an most specifically I would like to find out how to present a custom window (or at least custom information) when the user selects "About "My App""

I guess I don't need a solution but a pointer to documentation that will help me in my quest.

So it is a MacOS app ?

Change the action associated to the menu.

  • Open Main storyboard and select About menu item
  • remove the default IBAction (click on small x) in the action

  • create an IBAction in AppDelegate
    @IBAction func customAbout(_ sender: NSMenuItem) {
        // Open your custom window
    }
  • connect it to the action field

Please update this answer for Xcode 16
