To convert a Swift package to an Xcode project, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Xcode: Launch Xcode on your Mac.
  2. Open the Swift Package: Go to File > Add Packages... and enter the URL of the Swift package repository. Xcode will clone the repository and open it as a project.
  3. Convert to Xcode Project: Once the package is open in Xcode, you can convert it to an Xcode project by creating a new Xcode project and then adding the Swift package files to this new project.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design which discusses working with Swift packages in Xcode.
