How to add tabview to an existing single window XIB based APP to display multiple tabs?

Question

I'm new to Swift.

I have a single-window MacOS application like this one:

https://github.com/armadsen/ORSSerialPort/tree/master/Examples/ORSSerialPortDemo/Swift

Is it possible to add tabview to this XIB based APP? I tried to add a tabview from view -> show library to the project but only the single window can show(tabview is not shown at all).

I googled extensively but couldn't find any hints.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm using XCODE 12

Can't you add the tab view, is the tab view not visible in IB or is the tab view not visible at runtime? — Willeke, Jun 03 '21 at 20:44

I admit that I basically have 0 experience in Swift and MacOS UI programming.

I figured out the problem. I need to add tabview to my window, then add all my components like buttons and textviews to (one of) the tab.
