Creating Swift Package Collections

Swift Package Collections is a new feature in SwiftPM that allows you to group multiple packages together and distribute them as a single unit. This is useful for situations where you want to share a set of related packages with others, or for organizing your own packages for internal use. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of creating a Swift Package Collection and using it in a project.

Using Swift Package Collections

Swift Package Manager is a fantastic tool for managing dependencies, and over the years, Xcode support for SwiftPM has improved, streamlining the development workflow. In Xcode 13, discovering and managing third-party Swift packages became a little easier with the introduction of Swift Package Collections (add link). A Package Collection is a JSON file that describes a curated list of packages. The collection can be shared directly or online. It can also be signed to prevent tampering.
