I'm making a macOS app using SwiftUI and I would like to minimise (hide) all open windows when I click a button.

Is this possible with SwiftUI and if so, how would I go about implementing this? Thanks

To minimize windows of your App currently, you could dip into AppKit and iterate through NSApplication.shared.windows to minimize each one. For example:

private func minimizeWindows() {
    for window in NSApplication.shared.windows {
        if window.isMiniaturizable {
            window.miniaturize(nil)
        }
    }
}
