Swift Package Info

CLI tool, built on top of Swift Argument Parser, that provides information about a given Swift Package product, such as a measurement of its binary size impact.
Binary size calculation is also available as a library via the SwiftPackageInfo package product.

Usage

Examples

  • Run a complete analysis
swift-package-info --for https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift -v 6.0.0 --product RxSwift
  • Check supported platforms (sub command)
swift-package-info platforms --for https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift -v 1.3.8 --product CryptoSwift
  • See the binary size of a local package (e.g., under development framework)
swift-package-info binary-size --path ../project/my-framework

A custom report strategy can be passed via the report argument (check --help for supported values)

swift-package-info --for https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift -v 6.0.0 --product RxSwift --report jsonDump
{
  "binarySize" : {
    "amount" : 962560,
    "formatted" : "963 KB"
  },
  "dependencies" : [

], "platforms" : {

} }

Requirements

  • Swift >= 6.1
  • Xcode >= 16.4

Installation

Running

  • mint run swift-package-info
  • or simply, swift-package-info in case it was symlinked

Binary size report

Its methodology is inspired by cocoapods-size, and thus works by comparing archives with no bitcode and ARM64 arch. Such a strategy has proven consistent with the size of iOS apps downloaded and installed via TestFlight.

Thanks

Special thanks to @unnamedd for sharing his experience with swift-tools-support-core and on how to build a pretty 👌 report.
