In the Apple environment, Interface Builder is a powerful tool that allows developers to visually design user interfaces for their applications. It plays a crucial role in the development process, enabling efficient and intuitive creation of user interfaces without the need for extensive coding. This article will explore the features and benefits of Interface Builder and provide practical examples of its usage in the Apple environment.

Examples:

1. Creating a Button:
To create a button using Interface Builder in Xcode, follow these steps:
