Creating a Cocoa application without NIB files

Yes, I know this goes against the whole MVC principle!

However, I\'m just trying to whip up a pretty trivial application - and I\'ve pretty much implemented it. Howe

The sample swift code for the autoreleasepool snippet provided above does not work in modern Xcode. Instead, you need to get rid of the @NSApplicationMain in your App Delegate source file, if there is one (Xcode now adds these for new projects), and add a main.swift file that contains the following:

The top level code sample above no longer works in recent versions of Xcode. Instead use this:

import Cocoa

let delegate = ExampleApplicationController() //alloc main app's delegate class
NSApplication.shared().delegate = delegate //set as app's delegate

let ret = NSApplicationMain(CommandLine.argc, CommandLine.unsafeArgv)
