A practical checklist for iOS developers before WWDC: stabilize your app, archive your current setup, prepare for beta SDKs, and decide what to watch during the conference.
Remember, weak is for cases where the reference might become nil, while unowned assumes it wonβt. Choose wisely based on your specific use case.
You can create as many xcconfig files as you want, and you can specify different build configuration files for debug and release builds, and for different platforms and architectures.

A practical guide to Swift packages, XCFrameworks, frameworks, static libraries, dynamic libraries, binary targets, module stability, and choosing the right distribution format for Apple-platform code.
CocoaPods will resolve dependencies between libraries, fetch the resulting source code, then link it together in an Xcode workspace to build your project.
The official tool for managing the distribution of Swift code to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.
Carthage builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks, but you retain full control over your project structure and setup.
A practical comparison of iOS dependency managers β Swift Package Manager is the standard, CocoaPods is in decline, and Carthage has lower ecosystem momentum β with guidance on when each still makes sense.
