The official package manager for the Swift programming language, handling dependency resolution, versioning, compilation, and linking of Swift packages. It includes a cross-platform build system for macOS and Linux and integrates with Xcode for Apple platform development.

Use cases

• manage dependencies for a swift project
• build a swift package from the command line
• share reusable swift code on github
• add third-party libraries to an ios app via xcode
• resolve and version swift package dependencies
• create a command-line tool in swift

When to choose

• you are developing in Swift and need dependency management
• you want to build Swift packages on macOS or Linux
• you use Xcode 11+ and want integrated package support
• you want the official, first-party Swift tooling

When to avoid

• you need to manage dependencies for Objective-C-only projects
• you require CocoaPods or Carthage-specific workflows or podspecs
• you are not working with the Swift language
