# main()

Initializes and runs the widget.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency static func main()
```

## Overview

Overview Because you precede your Widget conformer’s declaration with the @main attribute, the system calls your widget’s main() method to launch the widget. SwiftUI provides a default implementation of the method that manages the launch process in a platform-appropriate way.
