Have you considered adding reproducible builds to Swift? If you compile the same code under the same conditions, you always get the same binary.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This would be huge for open source source, because people could *prove* that an app binary came from the code it's supposed to be coming from.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This should be possible to do. To get the same conditions, a VM (or just the same cleanly installed Mac) could be used. If the compiler adds a timestamp, an option to remove the timestamp could be added. Etc.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Bitcoin Core does this using Gitian: <a href="https://gitian.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://gitian.org</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Debian Linux is making progress: <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds</a></div> </body>
