Build and maintain macOS menubar apps with a Tuist-first workflow and stable launch scripts. Preserve strict architecture boundaries so networking, state, and UI remain testable and predictable.
When to Use
- When working on LSUIElement menubar utilities built with Tuist and SwiftUI.
- When you need Tuist manifests, launch scripts, or architecture guidance for a menubar app.
Core Rules
- Keep the app menubar-only unless explicitly told otherwise. Use
LSUIElement = true by default.
- Keep transport and decoding logic outside views. Do not call networking from SwiftUI view bodies.
- Keep state transitions in a store layer (
@Observable or equivalent), not in row/view presentation code.
- Keep model decoding resilient to API drift: optional fields, safe fallbacks, and defensive parsing.
- Treat Tuist manifests as the source of truth. Do not rely on hand-edited generated Xcode artifacts.
- Prefer script-based launch for local iteration when is unreliable for macOS target/device resolution.
