The latest updates to the Swift Package Manager were discussed in the session titled "What’s new in Swift" at WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:
-
Community Showcase: Each month, the Swift community nominates packages for the community showcase. This highlights the active involvement and contributions of the community in evolving the Swift ecosystem (What’s new in Swift).
-
Swift Package Index: The Swift Package Index builds all of the packages for multiple Swift versions and platforms to help developers pick the right package for their application. This integration helps streamline the process of finding and using Swift packages (What’s new in Swift).
-
Migration to GitHub: The Swift project, including the Swift Compiler foundation and many more Swift ecosystem packages, will be moving to a new organization on GitHub.com under
swiftlang. This migration aims to centralize and better manage the Swift ecosystem (What’s new in Swift).
For a more detailed exploration of Swift's features and design, you can refer to the session "A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design" which covers how Swift Package Manager can be used to manage packages, build, test, and run code (A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design).
