You can use the IOKit framework to obtain the battery status of your MacBook in Swift. Here is some sample code:

import IOKit.ps

func batteryLevel() -> Int {
   let snapshot = IOPSCopyPowerSourcesInfo().takeRetainedValue()
   let sources = IOPSCopyPowerSourcesList(snapshot).takeRetainedValue() as Array

   guard let powerInfo = IOPSGetPowerSourceDescription(snapshot, sources[0] as CFTypeRef) as? [String: Any] else { return -1 }

   let maxCapacity = powerInfo[kIOPMaxCapacityKey] as! Int
   let currentCapacity = powerInfo[kIOPCurrentCapacityKey] as! Int

   let batteryLevel = (currentCapacity * 100) / maxCapacity
   return batteryLevel
}

let level = batteryLevel()
print("Battery level: \(level)%")

This function will return the battery level as a percentage. You can then use it to display the battery status in your application or perform actions based on the battery level.
