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.

What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design
Learn the essential features and design philosophy of the Swift programming language. We’ll explore how to model data, handle errors, use protocols, write concurrent code, and more while building up a Swift package that has a library, an HTTP server, and a command line client. Whether you’re just beginning your Swift journey or have been with us from the start, this talk will help you get the most out of the language.
