SwiftPlate is a command-line tool that generates ready-to-build Xcode projects for cross-platform Swift framework projects in seconds. Generated projects ship with support for CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager, and target iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Linux.

Use cases

• generate a Swift framework project from the command line
• scaffold an Xcode project for a new Swift library
• create a cross-platform Swift framework with CocoaPods and Carthage support
• quickly bootstrap an open-source Swift package with a Podspec
• set up boilerplate for an iOS and macOS framework in seconds
• script project generation for CI with command-line arguments

When to choose

• You are starting a new Swift framework and want an instant Xcode project wired up for CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager
• You want interactive step-by-step scaffolding, or fully non-interactive generation via CLI flags for automation
• You need generated projects that target Apple platforms plus Linux

When to avoid

• You need up-to-date Xcode project formats and modern Swift tooling — the last release was March 2019
• You only need a Swift Package Manager manifest, which 'swift package init' already provides
• You want to generate full applications rather than framework/library projects
