'SwiftUI: How can you make your app come to the front when clicking on the dock icon of the app?

When a SwiftUI app is minimized and the dock icon is clicked. The app won't be deminimized and put to the front just like other apps do.

import SwiftUI

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate
    
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            MainView()
        }
    }
}

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
    func applicationShouldHandleReopen(_ sender: NSApplication, hasVisibleWindows flag: Bool) -> Bool {
        // THIS IS NEVER CALLED!!!
        if !flag {
            for window: AnyObject in sender.windows {
                window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(self)
            }
        }
        
        return true
    }
}

Other delegate methods like applicationDidLaunch do get called so its not a linking issue. Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Use did become active callback, tested as worked with Xcode 13.3 / macOS 12.2.1

Like,

func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ notification: Notification) {
    if NSApp.windows.compactMap({ $0.isVisible ? Optional(true) : nil }).isEmpty {
         NSApp.windows.first?.makeKeyAndOrderFront(self)
    }
}

Test module in project is here

Note: in case of active application the only application(Will/Did)Update are called in click Dock icon.

In delegate methods that get called when clicking on the dock icon try calling

NSApp.activate(ignoringOtherApps: true)

This should bring your app to the foreground
