# UIApplicationSupportsPrintCommand

A Boolean value that indicates whether the app supports the Command-P keyboard shortcut.

## Discussion

When the value for this key is `YES`, the system adds the Command-P keyboard shortcut to the app. When someone enters Command-P while using the app, the system calls the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIResponderStandardEditActions/printContent(_:)> method on the first responder that implements the method found in the responder chain.

An iPad app running in iPadOS shows a Print command in the discoverability HUD when the value for the [`UIApplicationSupportsPrintCommand`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSupportsPrintCommand) key is `YES`. When the same app runs on a Mac with Apple silicon, the system adds Print and Export to PDF menu commands to the File menu.

When an app built with Mac Catalyst includes the [`UIApplicationSupportsPrintCommand`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSupportsPrintCommand) key with a value of `YES`, the system adds the Print and Export to PDF commands to the File menu. However, the app must also include the [`com.apple.security.print`](/documentation/BundleResources/Entitlements/com.apple.security.print) and [`com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write`](/documentation/BundleResources/Entitlements/com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write) App Sandbox entitlements to make printing and exporting content available to the app when running in macOS.
