Static Methodswift-package-manager 6.0.1PackageDescription
package(url:from:)
Adds a package dependency that uses the version requirement, starting with the given minimum version, going up to the next major version.
PackageDependency.swift:219static func package(url: String, from version: Version) -> Package.Dependency Parameters
Returns
A Package.Dependency instance.
This is the recommended way to specify a remote package dependency. It allows you to specify the minimum version you require, allows updates that include bug fixes and backward-compatible feature updates, but requires you to explicitly update to a new major version of the dependency. This approach provides the maximum flexibility on which version to use, while making sure you don’t update to a version with breaking changes, and helps to prevent conflicts in your dependency graph.
The following example allows the Swift Package Manager to select a version like a 1.2.3, 1.2.4, or 1.3.0, but not 2.0.0.
