To create a window using SwiftUI, you can use the WindowGroup scene type. Here's a basic example to get you started:

import SwiftUI

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, World!")
            .padding()
    }
}

In this example, WindowGroup is used to create a window that displays the ContentView. The @main attribute marks the entry point of the app.
