In the "What's new in Swift" session at WWDC 2024, several updates related to the Swift Package Manager were discussed. The Swift Package Manager continues to be an integral part of the Swift ecosystem, and there are ongoing efforts to enhance its functionality and integration. Here are some highlights:
-
Swift Package Index Integration: Swift.org now integrates with swiftpackageindex.com, which builds all packages for multiple Swift versions and platforms. This helps developers choose the right package for their applications.
-
Community Showcase: Each month, the Swift community nominates packages for a community showcase, highlighting popular and useful packages.
-
Migration to Swift 6: Developers are encouraged to update their open-source packages to Swift 6, with resources available on swiftpackageindex.com to track the adoption of Swift 6 in popular packages.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the What's new in Swift session, specifically the "Packages" chapter.
