Progress Indicators
Don’t make people sit around staring at a static screen waiting for your app to load content or perform lengthy data processing operations. Use activity indicators and progress bars to let people know your app isn’t stalled and to give them some idea of how long they’ll be waiting.
Progress Bar Html
By default, a progress bar’s track includes both filled and unfilled portions. When used in a navigation bar or toolbar, such as to denote a page loading, a progress bar should be configured to hide the unfilled portion of the track. Consider customizing a progress bar’s appearance to match your app. The code snippet also sets the progress bar's current value to 0. The call to setStringPainted causes the progress bar to display, within its bounds, a textual indication of the percentage of the task that has completed. By default, the progress bar displays the value returned by its getPercentComplete method formatted as a percent, such as 33%.

When updating apps, you can see their progress on the Updates tab. Downloads folder in the Dock. For files you download not from the Mac App Store but from the internet, the Launchpad offers no.

Activity Indicators
An activity indicator spins while an unquantifiable task, such as loading or synchronizing complex data, is performed. It disappears when the task completes. Activity indicators are noninteractive.
Favor progress bars over activity indicators. If activity is quantifiable, use a progress bar instead of an activity indicator so people can better gauge what’s happening and how long it will take.
Keep activity indicators moving. People associate a stationary activity indicator with a stalled process. Keep it spinning so they know something’s happening.
If it’s helpful, provide useful information while waiting for a task to complete. Include a label above an activity indicator to give extra context. Avoid vague terms like loading or authenticating because they don’t usually add any value.

Progress Bars
A progress bar includes a track that fills from left to right to show the progression of a task with a known duration. Progress bars are noninteractive, although they are often accompanied by a button for canceling the corresponding operation.
Always report progress accurately. Don’t display inaccurate progress information just to make your app appear busy. Only use progress bars for tasks that are quantifiable. Otherwise, use an activity indicator.
Use progress bars for tasks with a well-defined duration. Progress bars are great for showing the status of a task, especially when it helps convey how much longer the task needs to complete.
Hide the unfilled portion of track in navigation bars and toolbars. By default, a progress bar’s track includes both filled and unfilled portions. When used in a navigation bar or toolbar, such as to denote a page loading, a progress bar should be configured to hide the unfilled portion of the track.
Consider customizing a progress bar’s appearance to match your app. A progress bar’s appearance can be adjusted to match your app’s design. You can specify, for example, a custom tint or image for both the track and fill.

Network Activity Indicators*
The network activity indicator is deprecated in iOS 13 and on devices with edge-to-edge displays. In iOS 12 and earlier, and on devices without edge-to-edge displays, a network activity indicator spins in the status bar at the top of the screen as networking occurs. It disappears when networking is complete. This indicator looks just like an activity indicator and is noninteractive.

Show this indicator only for network operations lasting more than a few seconds. Don’t display the indicator for quick network operations because it’s likely to disappear before anyone notices its presence or realizes what it’s meant to communicate.
