The NSProgress​Indicator class lets a macOS app display a progress indicator to show that a lengthy task is under way.

The NSProgress​Indicator class lets a macOS app display a progress indicator to show that a lengthy task is under way. Some progress indicators are indeterminate and do nothing more than show that the app is busy. Others are determinate and show the percentage of the task that has been completed.

Note: This is an macOS class. In iOS one might use UIProgressView for determinate progress or a UIActivityIndicatorView for indeterminate progress.
