How to enable own menu item in SwiftUI app

Question

I have SwiftUI app with storyboard menu where I added my own item which is disabled when I run the app. I created following class to make it enabled and I call initMenu method from applicationDidFinishLaunching in AppDelegate but menu item still remains disabled, what else or additional I have to do to make it enabled?

class MenuActions: NSObject {

func initMenu() {
    let mainMenu = NSApplication.shared.mainMenu
    mainMenu?.autoenablesItems = false
    mainMenu?.item(at: 1)?.submenu?.item(at: 0)?.isEnabled = true
}

@IBAction func new(_ sender: NSMenuItem) {
    print("fired")
}

}

Inside AppDelegate you can just add the IBaction

@IBAction func new(_ sender: NSMenuItem) {
    print("fired")
}

Then connect the Menu Item in the Storyboard file with that function and it is enabled by default.

Edit:

You can create your own Menu class which handles the MenuItems action like this:

class MenuItems : NSObject {
    @IBAction func new(_ sender: NSMenuItem) {
        print("fired")
    }
}

Then add an Object in the storyboard to the Application Scene and set your custom class to that object. Thereafter connect your IBactions
