Yes, the Swift Package Manager (SPM) can build packages in a way that is equivalent to Xcode builds. You can invoke SPM from the command line to build, test, and run your code. Additionally, you can work on a Swift package using Xcode, which integrates improvements to Swift package integration, allowing you to queue up builds without waiting for package resolution to finish first.
For more details on how Swift Package Manager integrates with Xcode, you can refer to the session What’s new in Xcode 16 at the "Package resolution" chapter.
