showing the default about dialog

Most Cocoa apps come with a "About App" menu item. This opens an dialog that often is not custom but instead provided. It shows the icon and some information from the application bundle.

enter image description here

I cannot seem to find any information/documentation on how to open this dialog in code.

I have an app written in swift that does not use xib/storyboards so there is no default "About" menu item. While writing a custom one isn't exactly hard I am still wondering how to just open the standard one.

Any pointers to documentation or code snippets? I failed to find any.

Call orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(_:) on the application instance

NSApp.orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(nil)
