Xcode doesn't recognize NSLabel

There is no label class (NSLabel) on OS X. You have to use NSTextField instead, remove the bezel and make it non editable:

[textField setBezeled:NO];[textField setDrawsBackground:NO];[textField setEditable:NO];[textField setSelectable:NO];

Swift 4.2 🔸

open class NSLabel: NSTextField {    override init(frame frameRect: NSRect) {      super.init(frame: frameRect)      self.isBezeled = false      self.drawsBackground = false      self.isEditable = false      self.isSelectable = false    }}

I had the same question, following DrummerB advice I created this NSLabel class.

Header

Implementation

////  NSLabel.m////  Created by Axel Guilmin on 11/5/14.//#import "NSLabel.h"@implementation NSLabel#pragma mark INIT- (instancetype)init {    self = [super init];    if (self) {        [self textFieldToLabel];    }    return self;}- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect {    self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect];    if (self) {        [self textFieldToLabel];    }    return self;}- (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {    self = [super initWithCoder:coder];    if (self) {        [self textFieldToLabel];    }    return self;}#pragma mark SETTER- (void)setFontSize:(CGFloat)fontSize {    super.font = [NSFont fontWithName:self.font.fontName size:fontSize];}- (void)setText:(NSString *)text {    [super setStringValue:text];}#pragma mark GETTER- (CGFloat)fontSize {    return super.font.pointSize;}- (NSString*)text {    return [super stringValue];} #pragma mark - PRIVATE- (void)textFieldToLabel {    super.bezeled = NO;    super.drawsBackground = NO;    super.editable = NO;    super.selectable = YES;}@end

You'll need to #import "NSLabel.h" to use it, but I think it's more clean.
