Consuming and publishing Swift packages

To consume Swift packages from a CodeArtifact repository

1. If you haven't, follow the steps in Configure the Swift Package Manager with CodeArtifact to configure the Swift Package Manager to use your CodeArtifact repository with proper credentials.

   Note

   The authorization token generated is valid for 12 hours. You will need to create a new one if 12 hours have passed since a token was created.

2. Edit the Package.swift file in your application project folder to update the package dependencies to be used by your project.

   1. If the Package.swift file does not contain a dependencies section, add one.

   2. In the dependencies section of the Package.swift file, add the package you want to use by adding its package identifier. The package identifier consists of the scope and package name separated by a period. See the code snippet following a later step for an example.

      Tip

      To find the package identifier, you can use the CodeArtifact console. Find the specific package version you want to use and reference the Install shortcut instructions on the package version page.

   3. If the Package.swift file does not contain a targets section, add one.

   4. In the targets section, add the targets that will need to use the dependency.

      The following snippet is an example snippet showing configured dependencies and targets sections in a Package.swift file:

      ...
          ],
          dependencies: [
              .package(id: "my_scope.package_name", from: "1.0.0")
          ],
          targets: [
            .target(
               name: "MyApp",
               dependencies: ["package_name"]
            ),...
          ],
      ...

3. Now that everything is configured, use the following command to download the package dependencies from CodeArtifact.

   swift package resolve

To consume Swift packages from a CodeArtifact repository in Xcode

1. If you haven't, follow the steps in Configure the Swift Package Manager with CodeArtifact to configure the Swift Package Manager to use your CodeArtifact repository with proper credentials.

   Note

   The authorization token generated is valid for 12 hours. You will need to create a new one if 12 hours have passed since a token was created.

2. Add the packages as a dependency in your project in Xcode.

   1. Choose File > Add Packages.

   2. Search for your package using the search bar. Your search must be in the form package_scope.package_name.

   3. Once found, choose the package and choose Add Package.

   4. Once the package is verified, choose the package products you want to add as a dependency, and choose Add Package.

1. If you haven't, follow the steps in Configure the Swift Package Manager with CodeArtifact to configure the Swift Package Manager to use your CodeArtifact repository with proper credentials.

   Note

   The authorization token generated is valid for 12 hours. You will need to create a new one if 12 hours have passed since it was created.

2. Navigate to the Swift project directory that contains the Package.swift file for your package.

3. Run the following swift package-registry publish command to publish the package. The command creates a package source archive and publishes it to your CodeArtifact repository.

   swift package-registry publish packageScope.packageName packageVersion

   For example:

   swift package-registry publish myScope.myPackage 1.0.0

4. You can confirm that the package was published and exists in the repository by checking in the console or using the aws codeartifact list-packages command as follows:

   aws codeartifact list-packages --domain my_domain --repository my_repo

   You can list the single version of the package using the aws codeartifact list-package-versions command as follows:

   aws codeartifact list-package-versions --domain my_domain --repository my_repo \
   --format swift --namespace my_scope --package package_name

1. If you haven't, create and update the CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN and CODEARTIFACT_REPO environment variables by following the steps in Configure the Swift Package Manager with CodeArtifact.

   Note

   The authorization token is valid for 12 hours. You will need to refresh your CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable with new credentials if 12 hours have passed since it was created.

2. First, if you do not have a Swift package created, you can do so by running the following commands:

   mkdir testDir && cd testDir
   swift package init
   git init .
   swift package archive-source

3. Use the following Curl command to publish your Swift package to CodeArtifact:

   macOS and Linux

   curl -X PUT  --user "aws:$CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN" \
   -H "Accept: application/vnd.swift.registry.v1+json" \
   -F source-archive="@test_dir_package_name.zip" \
   "${CODEARTIFACT_REPO}my_scope/package_name/packageVersion"

   Windows

   curl -X PUT  --user "aws:%CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN%" \
   -H "Accept: application/vnd.swift.registry.v1+json" \
   -F source-archive="@test_dir_package_name.zip" \
   "%CODEARTIFACT_REPO%my_scope/package_name/packageVersion"

4. You can confirm that the package was published and exists in the repository by checking in the console or using the aws codeartifact list-packages command as follows:

   aws codeartifact list-packages --domain my_domain --repository my_repo

   You can list the single version of the package using the aws codeartifact list-package-versions command as follows:

   aws codeartifact list-package-versions --domain my_domain --repository my_repo \
   --format swift --namespace my_scope --package package_name

To fetch a Swift package from GitHub and republish it to CodeArtifact

1. If you haven't, follow the steps in Configure the Swift Package Manager with CodeArtifact to configure the Swift Package Manager to use your CodeArtifact repository with proper credentials.

   Note

   The authorization token generated is valid for 12 hours. You will need to create a new one if 12 hours have passed since a token was created.

2. Clone the git repository of the Swift package you want to fetch and republish by using the following git clone command. For information about cloning GitHub repositories, see Cloning a repository in the GitHub Docs.

   git clone repoURL

3. Navigate to the repository that you just cloned:

   cd repoName

4. Create the package and publish it to CodeArtifact.

   1. Recommended: If you are using Swift 5.9 or later, you can use the following swift package-registry publish command to create the package and publish it to your configured CodeArtifact repository.

      swift package-registry publish packageScope.packageName versionNumber

      For example:

      swift package-registry publish myScope.myPackage 1.0.0

   2. If you're using a Swift version that is older than 5.9, you must use the swift archive-source command to create the package and then use a Curl command to publish it.

      1. If you haven't configured the CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN and CODEARTIFACT_REPO environment variables, or it's been over 12 hours since you have, follow the steps in Configure Swift without the login command.

      2. Create the Swift package by using the swift package archive-source command:

         swift package archive-source

         If successful, you will see Created package_name.zip in the command line.

      3. Use the following Curl command to publish the Swift package to CodeArtifact:

         macOS and Linux

         curl -X PUT  --user "aws:$CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN" \
         -H "Accept: application/vnd.swift.registry.v1+json" \
         -F source-archive="@package_name.zip" \
         "${CODEARTIFACT_REPO}my_scope/package_name/packageVersion"

         Windows

         curl -X PUT  --user "aws:%CODEARTIFACT_AUTH_TOKEN%" \
         -H "Accept: application/vnd.swift.registry.v1+json" \
         -F source-archive="@package_name.zip" \
         "%CODEARTIFACT_REPO%my_scope/package_name/packageVersion"

5. You can confirm that the package was published and exists in the repository by checking in the console or using the aws codeartifact list-packages command as follows:

   aws codeartifact list-packages --domain my_domain --repository my_repo

   You can list the single version of the package using the aws codeartifact list-package-versions command as follows:

   aws codeartifact list-package-versions --domain my_domain --repository my_repo \
   --format swift --namespace my_scope --package package_name
