## Discussion

This value contains a bitwise OR of the constants listed in [`NSApplication.PresentationOptions`](/documentation/AppKit/NSApplication/PresentationOptions-swift.struct). Trying to set the property to an invalid combination of option flags raises an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSExceptionName/invalidArgumentException> exception. See the constants for a description of the valid combinations.
