There is already a similar Project<\/a> but I wanted a solution that can be implemented with pure on-board resources and does not require the installation of an extra framework. The result is \u201cLetsMoveIt\u201d. You only need to create a Swift file (in my case \u201cLetsMoveIt.swift\u201d) with the following content in your project. Of course you can place the \u201cToApps ()\u201d function in any other document, but I find a separate class somehow more elegant. But as is so often the case, it's a matter of taste and of course it's up to everyone to do it differently. (-:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The function can now be called from anywhere in the project using the following syntax. For example from AppDelegate.swift:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

The following dialog then opens if the application is not yet in \u201c\/ Applications\u201d:

You now have the option to move the application there.
If LetsMoveIt should also contain German, here are the corresponding strings:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
