Community-run Swift package search engine and metadata index Swift Package Index is joining Apple, but says little is changing for developers in the near term. Here are the details.
Swift Package Index joins Apple
Most Swift developers are likely familiar with the Swift Package Index, an open-source search engine and metadata index for Swift packages.
In practice, it helps developers discover packages, check platform and Swift-version compatibility, and browse automatically generated documentation. Per their own description, “Swift Package Index automatically tests every Swift package across supported platforms and Swift versions, giving developers confidence before adding a dependency.”
Earlier today, a new post on the Swift Package Index blog announced that they are joining Apple, with “no immediate changes in how your packages are indexed or presented, or how your documentation is hosted.”
