Bring Touch to your Mac app | Apple
Apple's new Mac with Touch Display requires developers to adopt gesture recognizers for native touch support.
“The new Mac with Touch Display opens up new interaction possibilities.”
Apple's WWDC26 session introduces developer guidance for adding touch support to Mac apps on the new Mac with Touch Display hardware. The session covers migrating from mouse tracking loops to gesture recognizers in AppKit, with practical techniques like expanded hit targets (minimum 36pt) and disabling gesture exclusivity for multi-touch input. This is a platform developer education session with no meaningful AI industry signal.
