Swift Tooling Standards

Priority: P0

Implementation Guidelines

Swift Package Manager (SPM)

Package.swift: Define clear targets, products, and dependencies.
Modularization: Break large projects into local packages for faster builds.
Versioning: Use semantic versioning (Major.Minor.Patch) for shared packages.

Code Quality

SwiftLint: Use for consistent style enforcement. Create a .swiftlint.yml in the project root with disabled_rules and opt_in_rules sections.
Compiler Warnings: Treat warnings as errors in CI to maintain code health.
Documentation: Use triple slashes /// for documentation comments on public APIs (DocC-compatible).

Build Configurations

Xcconfig: Use external configuration files to manage build settings.
Environment Flags: Use #if DEBUG for development-only code, closed with #endif.
Schemes: Maintain separate schemes for Development, Staging, and Production.

Anti-Patterns

No API keys in code: Use environment variables or build configs.
No // swiftlint:disable: Fix the underlying issue.
No manually added frameworks: Use SPM.
