Needle Foundation Library

Building and developing

First resolve the dependencies:

$ swift package update

You can then build from the command-line:

$ swift build

Or create an Xcode project and build using the IDE:

$ swift package generate-xcodeproj --xcconfig-overrides foundation.xcconfig

Note: For now, the xcconfig is being used to pass in the iOS deployment target settings.

Once a Xcode project is generated using Swift Package Manager, the Xcode project’s schemes must be recreated for both the NeedleFoundation framework as well as the NeedleFoundationTests test target. This is required for Carthage and CI.

Folder Structure

In order for other projects to depend on NeedleFoundation via Swift Package Manager, the foundation project has to be at the reposiroty’s root. At the same time, the folders cannot be named more specific to the foundation library, such as the Sources folder, due to SPM’s strict requirements on folder structure.
