    There is the option in Xcode to create Universal apps. However, this will only cover iDevices. If you wish to compile the same code for MacOS as well you need to do it by inserting preprocessor conditionals

    #ifdef TARGET_OS_MAC
  // we are on MacOS
#elif defined TARGET_OS_IPHONE
  // we are on iOS
#else
  // unknown platform
#endif

    That’s because the Mac and iOS APIs are at some point different (there are some classes that exclusively exist for each platform, e.g. UIKit/AppKit)
