I saw the WWDC video, so you don’t have to

Here’s a video I’ve just seen from WWDC, here are the highlights and, in the conclusion, what I think of it. So you don’t have to watch it (if you don’t want). If you do, please watch the video in the Apple developer portal rather than reading this article as this is really just my notes from that video.

There’s nothing more to say, so let’s get started with this exploration!

Trust on first use for Swift package manager.

A security protocol where after first download subsequent downloads are verified against the initial download.

Swift packages

Command plugins

Replacing shell scripts, use Swift! These can be run whenever you want to as custom actions.

Generate source code from within a build (if the plugin has write permission), or automate release tasks.

Essentially these are Swift packages, and avoid bringing in runtime content into your App.
