Swift Package Index joins Apple

We’re excited to announce that Swift Package Index has joined Apple. Swift Package Index has become the place developers rely on to discover and evaluate Swift packages. Bringing Swift Package Index to Apple allows us to build on its strong foundations while preserving its vision and expertise. Together, we’re building a comprehensive package registry to serve the Swift community’s evolving needs.

Earlier this year, Swift Package Index reached a milestone of over 10,000 Swift packages indexed. The platform runs 350,000+ monthly compatibility builds.

There are no immediate changes in how your packages are indexed or presented, or how your documentation is hosted. Swift Package Index will remain open source.

Over the coming months, we’ll begin to share our plans for the evolution of the Swift Package Index. Roadmap items include package signing, identity verification, and a registry model that removes the GitHub-URL-only requirement for Swift package resolution. Xcode integration for in-IDE package discovery is expected.

Dave Verwer and Sven A. Schmidt have joined Apple to continue working on everything related to Swift packages.
