What I really want to see is a Code Store in Xcode (kind of like an app store
for Swift packages). Basically, you would hit “Add Package” in the
sidebar/menu and a sheet pops up where you can search for and view various
packages. You then hit an “Add” button in the sheet, and it would add the
package to your project. To remove a package you would select it and hit
delete.
Selecting a package in the sidebar would let you set some settings (e.g. select
a specific version), and view documentation. Xcode would manage the files for
you behind the scenes.
I know that is out of scope for Evolution, but I just wanted to mention it,
since it might help with the visibility issue.
Thanks,
Jon
