Use Tuist with a Swift Package

Using Tuist with a Swift Package {#using-tuist-with-a-swift-package-badge-typewarning-textbeta-}

Tuist supports using Package.swift as a DSL for your projects and it converts your package targets into a native Xcode project and targets.

::: warning

The aim of this feature is to provide an easy way for developers to assess the impact of adopting Tuist in their Swift Packages. Therefore, we don’t plan to support the full range of Swift Package Manager features nor to bring every Tuist’s unique features like project description helpers to the packages world.

::: info ROOT DIRECTORY

Tuist commands expect a certain directory structure whose root is identified by a Tuist or a .git directory.

Using Tuist with a Swift Package {#using-tuist-with-a-swift-package}

We are going to use Tuist with the TootSDK Package repository, which contains a Swift Package. The first thing that we need to do is to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK
cd TootSDK

Once in the repository’s directory, we need to install the Swift Package Manager dependencies:

tuist install

Under the hood tuist install uses the Swift Package Manager to resolve and pull the dependencies of the package. After the resolution completes, you can then generate the project:

tuist generate

Voilà! You have a native Xcode project that you can open and start working on.
