In iOS 18, there are several enhancements related to shared dependencies between multiple targets, particularly in the context of explicitly built modules. The session "Demystify explicitly built modules" discusses how explicitly built modules can help unify project settings, allowing modules to be shared more effectively between source files. This approach can reduce the number of module variants and improve build performance by enabling parallel module builds, which are more predictable and reliable. This is particularly useful when dealing with shared dependencies across different targets in a project.
For more details, you can refer to the session Demystify explicitly built modules (11:28) which covers optimizing your build with explicitly built modules.
