The value of a quality index comes from the need to be careful when adding a dependency. Dave explains how the quality index works, giving each package a score based on a few quality metrics.
#ITERM2 LICENSE UPDATE#
It becomes so easy to update packages and dependencies after the transition.īack to the SwiftPM Library, the panel asks Dave more about it works. The panel shares the things they like about SwiftPM, including how easy it is to use. SwiftPM is managed by Apple, therefore, is a cleaner and better option even though the transition may be painful. Once these problems are solved, Dave hopes that everyone will transition to SwiftPM. The panel considers these limitations and shares how they affect whether or not they choose SwiftPM. Another major limitation of SwiftPM is that you cannot switch between languages in a Swift package. Right now in SwiftPM, it does not support resources, such as zip files and images, in packages. SwiftPM has a couple of limitations that the SwiftPM team is currently working on.
#ITERM2 LICENSE HOW TO#
He gives a brief walkthrough of how to replace CocoaPods with SwiftPM in a project.
#ITERM2 LICENSE CODE#
He explains that SwiftPM is very similar to using Cocoapods, however, you can create a library using X code and also include other libraries as dependencies.
The panel asks Dave about SwiftPM and how it compares to CocoaPods and Carthage. It is doubtful that Github will have very many Swift specific features and metadata on their site, where at the SwiftPM Library Dave already has many of those in place. The Github package registry also supports other languages like Ruby and Java. Also, Github is likely to list its packages in a way that he take those packages and include them in his library as well, so Github will not have more Swift supporting packages than the SwiftPM Library.Īnother thing that sets apart SwiftPM Library is that it is all about Swift. The Github package registry piggybacks on Github search which therefore will take longer. Daves explains the features that SwiftPM Library has that gives it a fighting chance against the Github package registry.įirst, the SwiftPM Library was built with speed in mind. The Github package registry is a multiplatform, multilanguage tool for registering packages. The panel considers what this means for SwiftPM, which unlike most package managers it does not have a library of packages to use.ĭave sees two outcomes for the SwiftPM Library, either it becomes the go-to place for people to discover new packages or Github package registry will come along and kill it. The CocoaPods Quality Index gives a quality score based on a few metrics, Dave wanted to do this but specifically for packages that support SwiftPM. The CocoaPods Quality Index was his inspiration for this library. It is a repository of all the packages he can find and anyone can contribute packages to it.
SwiftPM Library is a site that aims to make it easy for people to find quality packages that support the Swift Package Manager to integrate into their project. He is mostly known for his weekly email newsletter, iOS Dev Weekly, which is released every Friday afternoon. Dave is an iOS developer from the UK, he’s been working with iOS since the beginning. In this episode of The iPhreaks Show the panel interviews Dave Verwer about his new SwiftPM Library.
