The Swift Package Manager (SwiftPM) has seen improvements that enhance build performance, particularly with the introduction of prebuilt Swift syntax dependencies. This change eliminates an expensive build step, significantly reducing clean build times, especially in continuous integration environments. If you own a package that provides macros, your clients can benefit from this optimization as long as the package depends on a tagged release of Swift syntax. These updates are part of the broader enhancements in Swift 6.2, which aim to improve productivity by optimizing build processes and providing better tools for developers.
For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in Swift (04:40) where these improvements are discussed.
What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll talk about workflow improvements that make you more productive, and new and modernized library APIs for fundamental programming tasks. We’ll show examples of Swift adoption throughout more layers of the software stack. Finally, we’ll explore new language features for both improving approachability of concurrency, and achieving peak performance when you need it.
Explore Swift and Java interoperability
Learn how you can mix Swift and Java in a single codebase. We’ll introduce the swift-java interoperability project, which allows you to use Swift in Java programs or vice versa. We’ll show you how to use the tools and libraries offered by swift-java to write safe and performant code that interoperates between these two runtimes.
