I don’t think that’s all that bad either; not every library will make sense to incorporate into the core Swift distribution (e.g., they are highly domain specific) but still supporting their development would be beneficial to the community.</span></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">What I <i class="">really</i> want to see is a Code Store in Xcode (kind of like an app store for Swift packages). Basically, you would hit “Add Package” in the sidebar/menu and a sheet pops up where you can search for and view various packages. You then hit an “Add” button in the sheet, and it would add the package to your project. To remove a package you would select it and hit delete.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Selecting a package in the sidebar would let you set some settings (e.g. select a specific version), and view documentation.
