macOS SwiftPM App Packaging (No Xcode)

Overview

Bootstrap a complete SwiftPM macOS app folder, then build, package, and run it without Xcode. Use assets/templates/bootstrap/ for the starter layout and references/packaging.md + references/release.md for packaging and release details.

When to Use

• When the user needs a SwiftPM-based macOS app without relying on an Xcode project.
• When you need packaging, signing, notarization, or appcast guidance for a SwiftPM app.

Two-Step Workflow

1. Bootstrap the project folder
   • Copy assets/templates/bootstrap/ into a new repo.
   • Rename MyApp in Package.swift, Sources/MyApp/, and version.env.
   • Customize APP_NAME, BUNDLE_ID, and versions.
