Using the registry in Xcode

Configure an Xcode workspace or project to resolve packages from the registry.

1. 1Configure the project

   Run the setup command in your project directory with your registry URL. It detects the .xcworkspace or .xcodeproj and writes the registry configuration. Add --dry-run to preview the changes first.

   bashCopy

   swiftregistry setup xcode --url https://registry.swiftregistry.io

2. 2Reference packages by identifier

   With the registry configured, Xcode resolves dependencies referenced by their scope.name identifier from the registry — immutable, checksum-verified artifacts instead of Git clones.

   textCopy

   acme.networkkit

For a directory that contains both Package.swift and an Xcode project, run setup xcode explicitly — swiftregistry setup (no subcommand) configures the SwiftPM package first.
