Swift Package Manager

[HeathClark]

Does the current SDK for iOS support Swift Package Manager?  If not, when will that support be included?

[GBreen]

At the very least make an .xcframework so we can use the binary framework in our swift packages.

See this video for details: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/416/

It shouldn't be much work I think

This would also be very beneficial to me and my team as well.

Supporting SPM or just some sort of dependency manager (but preferably SPM) will greatly ease the management of the framework integration. Also, wrapping the framework in an installer package seems very odd. Why not just put it in a ZIP file?

Installer packages are really inconvenient, especially for something like this. It's very difficult to reason about what changes are made to the system when an installer runs.

Wish list:

1. Make ArcGIS available for Swift Package Manager

If not possible:

2. Make available for Carthage and/or CocoaPods

If not possible:

3. Distribute the framework in a ZIP file.

[GBreen]

So to be fair Esri is available via CocoaPods but not Carthage or SPM

Good news! In version 100.10.0 Esri is supporting xcframework. Because of that I was able to make a swift package manager version of the framework:

Not sure how long that will last because I'm not actually 100% I can do this but it's there for now and hopefully Esri will make a native solution soon

[InterPro]

Great work, but this should still be something supported by Esri.

[GBreen]

Agreed!

Good news. 100.11.0 now supports Swift Package Manager

[Ting]

Yep! It's supported now in 100.11.0! (actually also in 100.10.0 😏)
