macOS Creating multi-platform application

Hi, I am coming from a windows c# background using Visual Studios, and want to make an app for both iOS and Mac that will have a lot of shared code. In Visual Studios I would create a solution with a project for each interface (Web, console, windows app) and then one or more code libraries that would contain all the main logic that wasn't part of the interface and everything would work great.

I am trying to read up on how to do this with XCode and I am confused what is the best way to do this. I have been searching but haven't found much in the wait of guide or tutorials, but it may be I am searching for the wrong keywords since terminology may be very different.

Could anyone point me in the right direction of a guide that will help me get the project setup in the best way.

Thank you, that will help me out. Is there an equivalent to class library that only holds code and can't be deployed separately and is just for the logic and data layer?

Take a look at "Xcode Concepts" documentation.

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/featuredarticles/XcodeConcepts/Concept-Targets.html

Roughly:

Xcode Project corresponds to a VS Solution
Xcode Target corresponds to a VS Project

Like VS, Xcode has build configurations, to specify different options for, e.g., Debug and Release builds.

It's not entirely one-to-one, but I think for what you are talking about, these are the right equivalencies.

Thank you everyone for your help, I have been doing some reading and it seems like what I am wanting to do is possible with a similar structure to what I am used to in VS.

And yes this would be a Mac and iOS app and planning to try out Swift. Just a side project for fun.
