I'm using this code to bring up my window:

[self.window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
[self.window setOrderedIndex:0];

But often it will be beneath other windows or displayed in other Space desktop that I last open it in. How do I make it always appear "in front" to the user?

Update I found the answer from previously asked question; make the window show up to the top of other windows: [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

But how to move the app to the user's current Space?

 NSWindow.orderFrontRegardless()

If you want to your app to come to the front, even if its minimised and have it activated (given active focus), then use both of these:

            NSApp.activate(ignoringOtherApps: true)
            NSApp.windows.first?.orderFrontRegardless()

If you only want to bring it to the front, without giving it focus, just use:

            NSApp.windows.first?.orderFrontRegardless()
