## Declaration

var title: String? { get set }
```

## Mentioned in

## Discussion

Discussion Set title only when the user interface idiom is UIUserInterfaceIdiom.mac; otherwise, a runtime exception occurs. let showFavoritesAtTop = UISwitch() showFavoritesAtTop.preferredStyle = .checkbox if traitCollection.userInterfaceIdiom == .mac {     showFavoritesAtTop.title = "Always show favorite recipes at the top" } The switch ignores title when the value of style isn’t UISwitch.Style.checkbox.
