        // ...
        targets: [
            // ...
            .executableTarget(
                name: "YourApp",
                dependencies: [
                    .product(name: "SwiftCrossUI", package: "swift-cross-ui"),
                    .product(name: "AppKitBackend", package: "swift-cross-ui"),
                ]
            ),
            // ...

}
@Tab("YourApp.swift") {
    ```swift
    import SwiftCrossUI
    import AppKitBackend

    @main
    struct YourApp: App {
        // You can explicitly initialize your app's chosen backend if you desire.
        // This happens automatically when you import any of the built-in backends.
        //
        // var backend = AppKitBackend()

        var body: some Scene {
            WindowGroup {
                Text("Hello, World!")
                    .padding()
            }
        }
