[swift-users] Swift Package Manager not creating library (.a) files

[Max Howell]

Yes this is by design.

You have to specify binary products if you want them since testing integration landed.

What are you trying to do?

According to the documentation here (https://swift.org/package-manager/#example-usage <https://swift.org/package-manager/#example-usage>) this should produce a .a file in the root of the .build/debug directory. It doesn't. There is no .a file anywhere, only a .swiftmodule file. By the way, the documentation is out of date as the intermediate build .o files are now in a <modulename>.build directory, not at the root of .build.
