Questions tagged [macos]
macOS (formerly known as OS X or Mac OS X) is the desktop operating system from Apple, found on Macintosh computers. Use this tag only if your question relates to using macOS APIs or macOS-specific behavior, not because you happen to run your code on macOS. Questions relating to using or troubleshooting macOS are off-topic and belong in the Ask Different community instead.
