Go Reference

Go bindings for Apple platform frameworks. These bindings are cgo-free, using purego for dynamic function loading at runtime.

Auto-generated from Apple developer documentation via applegen.

Private frameworks

Bindings under the private/ directory wrap undocumented Apple frameworks. These APIs are unstable, may change or disappear between OS releases, and carry no compatibility guarantees.
