I have been developing on Xcode with apple for 10 years now, I have never been more frustrated by a development tool and platform. It seems like making it easy to use the platform to develop apps and understand the tools are completely not important to the people in charge of delivering this platform. It really needs example and clear explanation that is complete. It took years to be able to build my application and I did it with forums and videos basically. It's a disgrace.

I'm not sure if it's too late to ask this; But I take a simple Text file, formatted with tabs, it looks fine in Text Edit on Mac, it even displays nice on the console when printed out. But the layout is all messed up when I write it into the Text View window. If I use Webview, will I be able to edit the text and then send it to my PDF creator code? I would love an answer as I really need to edit a file and create a pdf of the edited file. By the way, I'm using Storyboards and Objective C vs Swift and Swift UI...

thanks for the reply. See my solution below.
