Hi, You need to create a project with the right template to start with. In XCode:
File/New Project - Select MacOS and then “App” (from the New Project Dialog). On XCode 11.0 and MacOS 10.14.6, this results in a new project Setup with a view controller. There are a number of ways to share code between Apps. I usually have a folder structure like this: CommonSource ScreenSaver StandaloneApp Put the code that is common between the two into “CommonSource” and the App Specific Stuff into either “ScreenSaver” or “StandaloneApp”. Then add the common files to both projects and compile as normal.
