To add a dependency to a Swift package in an Xcode workspace, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Xcode workspace: Make sure you have your Xcode workspace open where you want to add the Swift package dependency.

  2. Add the Swift package:

    • Go to the File menu and select Add Packages....
    • In the dialog that appears, you can search for the package you want to add by entering its URL or name.
    • Once you find the package, select it and specify the version rules (e.g., exact version, range, or branch).
    • Click Add Package to add it to your project.

  3. Configure the package:

    • After adding the package, you can configure which targets in your project should use the package. This is done in the Add Package dialog where you can select the targets.

  4. Use the package in your code:

    • Once the package is added, you can import it in your Swift files using the import statement and start using its functionality.

For more detailed information on working with Swift packages in Xcode, you can refer to the session A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design from WWDC 2024, which covers how to organize code into packages and manage dependencies.
