macOS Networking
macOS Networking refers to the suite of networking capabilities, tools, and configurations built into Apple's macOS operating system for desktop and laptop computers. It includes features for connecting to networks (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN), managing network interfaces, configuring firewalls, and troubleshooting connectivity issues. This encompasses both graphical user interface tools like System Settings and command-line utilities such as networksetup, ifconfig, and netstat.
Developers should learn macOS Networking when building or deploying applications that require network connectivity on macOS systems, such as local server setups, cross-platform development, or network-dependent tools. It is essential for configuring development environments, debugging network-related issues in macOS apps, and ensuring secure communication in enterprise or cloud-based workflows. Knowledge is particularly valuable for macOS system administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers targeting Apple ecosystems.
