To create an Xcode project that will execute a local Swift package, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a New Xcode Project:

    • Open Xcode.
    • Select "File" > "New" > "Project".
    • Choose a template for your project (e.g., App, Command Line Tool, etc.).
    • Click "Next" and provide the necessary details for your project.
  2. Add a Swift Package:

    • Select your project in the Project Navigator.
    • Go to the "Package Dependencies" tab.
    • Click the "+" button to add a new package.
    • Enter the URL of the Swift package repository you want to add.
    • Choose the version or branch you want to use.
    • Click "Add Package".
  3. Use the Swift Package in Your Project:

    • Once the package is added, you can import it in your Swift files using the import statement.
    • For example, if your package is named MyPackage, you can use import MyPackage in your Swift files.
  4. Build and Run Your Project:

    • You can now build and run your project as usual. The Swift package will be included in the build process.
