To use SwiftUI's TabView on macOS, you can take advantage of the new features introduced in the latest updates. SwiftUI now allows you to style the TabView to appear as a sidebar or as a segmented control in the toolbar. This is particularly useful for macOS applications where you might want to present a lot of content in a sidebar format.
To enable the sidebar with TabView in SwiftUI, you should set the TabView style to be sidebar adaptable. This can be done with a simple line of code, which will transform your tab bar into a sidebar, providing a more detailed and functional view. This approach is consistent across platforms, making it easier to maintain a unified look and feel in your app.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Elevate your tab and sidebar experience in iPadOS (06:41) which covers enabling the sidebar with TabView in SwiftUI.
