To create an Xcode project that will execute a local Swift package, you can follow these steps:
-
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.
-
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".
-
Use the Swift Package in Your Project:
- Once the package is added, you can import it in your Swift files using the
importstatement. - For example, if your package is named
MyPackage, you can useimport MyPackagein your Swift files.
- Once the package is added, you can import it in your Swift files using the
-
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.
