[swift-users] Package Manager and iOS apps

[Ankit Aggarwal]

Hi Tim,

You can read about plan for supporting iOS here
<https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-build-dev/Week-of-Mon-20160815/000613.html>
and
SwiftPM 4 roadmap here
<https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution-announce/2017-January/000307.html>.
You can write your package in a way that it can be used with SwiftPM,
CocoaPods and Carthage (depending on what all you want to support). This
allows using the package with SwiftPM for the command line application and
other dependency manager(s) for iOS application.

PS: Check out SwiftPlate <https://github.com/JohnSundell/SwiftPlate> which
lets generates a template which can be used to support all dependency
managers. I haven't actually used it but it looks good!
