What does this PR do?

Adds macOS as a build target for xtool dev, on macOS and Linux hosts:

  • Build contract: xtool.yml version: 2 selects a macOS target and deploymentTarget. Products can be executables, libraries or prebuilt binaries. Nested products are helper executables, app extensions and XPC services. --triple arm64-apple-macosx<version> overrides the schema.
  • Planning and linking: platform-specific products and resources. Each package compiles for its own declared minimum, as with swift build, while binaries record the app's deployment target through -platform_version. Per-product rpaths, entry points and -platform_version go through the toolset linker section, so compile commands stay identical across products.
  • Bundle assembly: standard Contents/ layout, with helpers in Contents/Helpers and frameworks, XPC services and extensions in their Xcode locations. SwiftPM resource bundles are relocated with a Bundle.module accessor that works after the build directory is gone. Shared helper dependencies are coalesced, and an rpath audit catches libraries that system rpaths would hide.
  • Deferred signing handoff: --defer-signing writes xtool/<App>.app, <App>.signing.json and copied entitlements.
  • On a Mac: xtool dev sign (ad-hoc, Apple Development, Developer ID by certificate fingerprint), xtool dev notarize (existing notarytool keychain profile, resumable), xtool dev run.
  • Linux cross-compile: versioned macOS triples work with the Darwin Swift SDK through a generated single-target destination.
  • Editor tooling: the build server and LSP config follow the selected platform, and the build server starts without running the planner.

macOS defaults to the SwiftPM native backend. SwiftBuild is rejected for macOS, and iOS keeps its existing backend selection and unversioned triple.

Documentation: Documentation/xtool.docc/MacOS.md, plus Control.md for the schema.

Upstream PRs that overlap

Checked against the 41 open PRs on 2026-10-19, after rebasing onto main at 8c46156. The six commits merged since the previous base (#349, #367, #361, #306, #328, #340) rebased without conflicts.

Same feature area (expect a design conflict):

  • build: support tvOS and Mac Catalyst targets #362 tvOS and Mac Catalyst targets (opened 2026-10-16, +1010/−119). It also plans macOS apps with the Contents layout, picks device families and resource paths per platform, and stamps the SDK version into Mach-O headers. It shares 6 files with this branch: BuildSettings.swift, Planner.swift, Packer.swift, DevCommand.swift, PlannerTests.swift and Control.md. Both PRs define how xtool represents a platform; one should be rebased onto the other's abstraction, or the abstraction should be agreed first.
  • Add experimental standalone watchOS builds, signing, and deployment probe #350 watchOS builds. It adds another platform through the same knobs: platform selection in PackSchema, Planner, Packer, BuildSettings and XcodePacker, --platform on xtool new/dev, and the BSP/LSP config. It shares 10 files with this branch.

With #350, #362 and this PR, three platforms are in flight at once. The platform abstraction should be designed once.

Same code, different bug (expect rebase conflicts):

File conflicts only:

#327, #342, #297, #238 and #143 touch only Package.swift or Control.md. The remaining 17 open PRs (auth, 2FA, setup/download, Windows host SDK, device registration, wireless deploy and similar) share no files with this branch.

How was it tested?

  • Unit tests: swift test with Swift 6.4 runs 151 tests in 13 suites, all passing. make lint is clean.
  • Real build tests: on macOS the suite compiles and runs disposable packages to check Bundle.module lookup after the build directory is removed, for debug and release.
  • CLI tests: the Bats suite in integration-tests/suite exercises the public CLI, and CI runs it on macOS (53f9b23).
  • Open-source apps: two popular macOS apps built from their own Package.swift. Only an xtool.yml and an Info.plist overlay were added; no app sources changed. Each was ad-hoc signed with xtool dev sign and passed codesign --verify --deep --strict. Each bundled CLI was run with --version.
    • AeroSpace v0.21.3-Beta: the app plus the aerospace CLI helper.
    • CodexBar 278e905: the app plus two helpers. Sparkle is embedded with its XPC services, and six SwiftPM resource bundles are relocated.
    • With the 13.0 floor, both build at their declared minimums (13.0 and 14.0) and record them as minos.

Build time against xcodebuild

Release, arm64, signing deferred. M1 Max, 10 cores, 32 GB, Xcode 26.6.

App Scenario swift build xcodebuild xtool
AeroSpace (median of 3) clean — 186.8 s 95.1 s
no-op — 8.3 s 7.5 s
one file touched — 29.6 s 46.2 s
CodexBar (xtool: 2 rounds) clean 421.5 s 427.2 s 422.0, 418.5 s
no-op 3.3 s 8.1 s 7.4, 7.4 s
one file touched 122.7 s 125.2 s 123.2, 123.0 s
  • AeroSpace ran under heavy CI load, so its timings are indicative only; it has no SwiftPM resource bundles. The CodexBar runs were near idle (1-minute load 1.8–3.2, no CI jobs).
  • The CodexBar comparison pits upstream's own build step (swift build per product) and xcodebuild on the package schemes against xtool at 9bd8593. The widget and signing are excluded on every side.
  • Clean builds do different work. xcodebuild builds explicit Clang modules, a dSYM and the asset catalog; SwiftPM does none of these.
  • xtool's fixed cost: package inspection, planning and assembly take 4–17 s per invocation. That cost dominates no-op and single-file rebuilds.
  • Each module compiles once. xtool adapts SwiftPM's generated Bundle.module accessors through a -vfsoverlay. Earlier revisions of this branch compiled modules with resource bundles twice: on every build before 42cce46 (CodexBar no-op: 729.1 s), and on clean builds before 9bd8593 (CodexBar clean: 778.0 s). xtool now plans first (--print-manifest-job-graph), so the accessors exist and are adapted before the first compile.

Known limitations

  • Inspection cost on every build: show-dependencies, plus describe and dump-package per package, runs even for no-op builds. Caching it by manifest and Package.resolved hashes is a follow-up.
  • Raw assets stay uncompiled: raw asset catalogs inside a dependency's SwiftPM resource bundle are copied as SwiftPM built them, so their images don't load at runtime. The same raw inputs supplied through xtool.yml are rejected.
  • Not supported: universal binaries; Debug builds on Linux (SwiftPM needs codesign); SwiftBuild for macOS; Mac Catalyst.
  • Shipped binaries keep SwiftPM's build-host toolchain rpath after /usr/lib/swift.

Design decisions

  • macOS builds use SwiftPM's native backend; SwiftBuild is rejected for macOS. SwiftBuild applies a versioned --triple as every package's deployment target, so a dependency that declares a lower minimum compiles at the app's target and fails on APIs obsoleted there. The unversioned triple doesn't help: without a version, SwiftBuild builds Release universal, and on Linux it then has no way to build a single architecture. Native SwiftPM compiles each package at its own minimum and cross-compiles from Linux today.
  • xtool adapts SwiftPM's generated Bundle.module accessor instead of replacing it. The native accessor looks next to the executable and then at an absolute build-machine path, so a signed .app would only find its resources on the machine that built it. A -vfsoverlay substitutes an adapted copy that also searches Contents/Resources, as Xcode's accessor does. Package sources are not edited, and toolchain changes to the generated file are picked up or rejected rather than silently replaced. A plan-only run generates the accessors before the first compile, so builds cost the same as swift build (see the CodexBar numbers above).
  • iOS is unchanged. It keeps its backend selection (SwiftBuild from Swift 6.4) and its unversioned triple. xtool therefore uses two backends, one per platform. A SwiftBuild spike built, signed and relocated CodexBar on a Mac, so macOS can move to SwiftBuild once it can build one architecture with each package at its own minimum.

Open question for the maintainer

With #350 (watchOS) and #362 (tvOS, Mac Catalyst), three PRs each add platforms to PackSchema, Planner, Packer and BuildSettings. Which platform abstraction should they share, and in which order should they land?

Introduce the types the macOS route builds on, without enabling it:

- TargetTriple and ResolvedTarget parse the selected triple and resolve
  the deployment version from the triple, the schema or the package's
  declared platforms, rejecting versions below the platform minimum.
- BundleLayout describes where executables, frameworks, resources and
  nested products live in iOS and macOS bundles.
- xtool.yml version 2 adds target, deploymentTarget, product sources,
  resourceCopies and nestedProducts, and accepts ICNS icons. Version 1
  configurations reject the new keys.
- DeferredSigningManifest records what a downstream signer needs.
- iOS compilation moves out of Packer into ProductBuilder, exposed as
  the ProductBuilderClient dependency.

macOS targets, version 2 product sources and resource destinations still
fail with "not implemented yet" errors.
Teach ProductBuilder to compile the products a plan selects for any
supported triple:

- Each product is built with its own `swift build --product` call and
  located through `--show-bin-path`; builds pass the versioned target
  triple, including for iOS.
- Products with a direct `.executable` source are built as-is; other
  products still go through the generated wrapper package, whose
  manifest now quotes paths as Swift string literals.
- BuildSettings rejects triples it does not recognise, and rejects Debug
  macOS builds on Linux hosts.

Planner and Packer still refuse macOS targets, so `xtool dev` cannot
reach this path yet.
Plan macOS and version 2 configurations instead of rejecting them:

- Package inspection moves behind the PackageInspectionClient
  dependency and also reads `swift package dump-package`, so dependency
  platform conditions decide which libraries and resource bundles a
  product pulls in for the selected platform.
- Products may name an explicit or prebuilt source, may be qualified by
  package, and may declare nested products (XPC services, helpers) and
  resourceCopies. Plugin targets are skipped and duplicate resource
  bundles are planned once.
- When an Info.plist overrides CFBundleIdentifier, the plan's bundle ID
  follows it.
- Extensions are planned sequentially.

Selecting the target through xtool.yml's `target` key is still rejected
here; the dev command learns to honour it in a later commit.
Replace Packer's concurrent iOS copy step with BundleAssembler, which
assembles iOS and macOS bundles, including nested app extensions, XPC
services and helpers, from the plan and BundleLayout:

- Every destination is computed and checked for collisions before
  anything is written.
- Raw asset catalogs, XIBs and storyboards are rejected; supply compiled
  or prepared resources instead.
- An existing CFBundleIconFile in the product's Info.plist is kept.
- Resource and icon paths resolve against the package path, and output
  goes to `<package>/xtool`.
- SwiftPM resource bundles are linked next to the executable so the
  generated `Bundle.module` accessor finds them.

Packer no longer rejects macOS targets.
Route `xtool dev build` for macOS targets:

- `--defer-signing` builds and assembles the app, then writes
  `<App>.signing.json` and a `<App>.signing-inputs/` directory with each
  product's entitlements for a downstream Mac signer. macOS builds
  without it are rejected, as are `--sign`, IPA output, `dev run` and
  Xcode project generation for macOS.
- The route is validated before authentication, SDK setup or packing.
- The selected target now comes from `--triple`, then xtool.yml's
  `target`, then the iOS default, for build, run and
  generate-xcode-project; the planner stops rejecting a configured
  target.
- Command effects (schema loading, SDK setup, packing, Xcode
  generation, running) move behind the DevCommandClient dependency.
Check what the linker produced before a bundle is assembled:

- Built products, prebuilt products and binary targets are parsed as
  Mach-O and rejected when their file type, architecture or platform
  does not match the plan.
- Each product gets the runpath search paths its bundle location needs.
  Helpers search both the app's Contents/Frameworks and their own
  Frameworks directory, so libraries assembled next to a helper load.
- `.prebuilt` product sources are accepted.
- macOS links pass `-platform_version macos <deployment> <sdk>` from the
  SDK's SDKSettings.json, because LLD on Linux otherwise records the
  deployment version as the SDK version.
Make editor configuration follow the same target resolution as builds:

- `xtool dev build-server` resolves the target from `--triple`,
  xtool.yml and the package's platforms through the planner.
- With Swift 6.4 and later, `.bsp/xtool.json` launches the build server
  with the selected `--triple`. Earlier toolchains get a
  `.sourcekit-lsp/config.json` with the Swift SDK and the versioned
  compiler triple.
- Generated files are refreshed or migrated only when they match xtool's
  complete generated content; customised files are kept.
- Document target selection in Control.md.

The new tests build iOS BuildSettings, which on Linux need an installed
Darwin SDK, so the integration script now installs the SDK before
running `swift test`.
Helpers share the Contents/Helpers location, so two helpers that depend
on the same library or resource bundle generated identical copy
operations and failed with a destination collision. Merge identical
generated operations across helpers. A dependency repeated within one
helper, or an explicit copy that collides with a generated one, is
still rejected.
codesign rejects anything outside Contents/ in a macOS bundle, so the
resource-bundle links at the bundle root made every app with a SwiftPM
resource target unsignable. Keep one copy of each resource bundle in
Contents/Resources instead:

- For macOS products with resource bundles, ProductBuilder rebuilds the
  product with a compiler VFS overlay that adapts SwiftPM's generated
  `Bundle.module` accessor to look in `Bundle.main.resourceURL`, falling
  back to the directory-based lookup. Package sources are not edited.
  Only Swift resource targets are supported.
- Helpers place their resources in the app's Contents/Resources and keep
  a relative link in Contents/Helpers for the executable-directory
  lookup.
- Identical generated operations are now merged across all products,
  not only helpers.
- Prebuilt macOS products that need SwiftPM resource bundles are
  rejected, since their accessors cannot be adapted.
Add MacOS.md describing the macOS route (target selection, bundle
assembly, the deferred signing handoff, tests and boundaries) and extend
Configuration.md with the version 2 keys, helper and resource
destinations, and how resource relocation is verified.
SwiftPM copies a static XCFramework slice into the bin directory under
the slice's LibraryPath, which need not be `lib<target>.a`. Read the
extracted XCFramework's Info.plist, pick the library for the planned
platform, variant and architecture, and use its LibraryPath when
validating and assembling binary targets. Framework slices and targets
without an extracted XCFramework keep the previous lookup.
PackLib starts hashing build artifacts for the verified macOS build
handoff. swift-crypto is already a package dependency used by XKit; this
adds its Crypto product to the PackLib target.

XToolSupport and the xtool executable named SwiftyMobileDevice by bare
product name, while XKit already spells out the package. Use the
explicit `.product(name:package:)` form everywhere. No dependency or
version changes.

- `xtool dev run` builds and launches a macOS app, forwarding arguments
  after `--` and exiting with the app's status (128+n when it is killed
  by signal n). `--app <path>` launches an existing .app without
  building, and `--triple` overrides the configured target.
- `xtool dev build --defer-signing` also writes `<App>.artifact.json`, a
  SHA-256 inventory of the bundle and its signing inputs, and removes a
  stale `<App>.signing-inputs/` before writing new ones.
  `xtool dev verify` checks a handoff against that inventory.
- MacBundleAudit walks the bundle's Mach-O load commands and rejects
  dependencies that resolve neither inside the bundle nor to a system
  library.
- `--swift-sdks-path` and `--scratch-path` select a prepared Swift SDK
  directory and a separate SwiftPM scratch directory for macOS builds.
- Add a Bats suite for the macOS CLI and document running apps.
Add `xtool dev sign`, which signs a copy of a verified build handoff
into a new output directory:

- Modes: ad-hoc, development and developer-id. Certificate modes take
  an explicit identity SHA-1; `--dry-run` prints the plan and also
  works on Linux.
- The copy is checked against the handoff inventory before signing.
  Nested code is signed inside-out with `--force` and without `--deep`;
  developer-id uses the hardened runtime and a secure timestamp. Each
  product gets its own entitlements, also embedded in DER form.
- The signed app is published by renaming it from a private staging
  directory next to the output.
- `xtool dev verify --signed` runs `codesign --verify --strict` on
  every code node and checks the certificate category, team ID and
  effective entitlements, then writes a receipt.

The handoff changes with it: entitlement inputs are stored under their
content hash instead of clearing the inputs directory, MacBundleAudit
treats extra executables in Contents/MacOS as their own signing nodes
and resolves frameworks through their Info.plist, and MacArtifact
validates each product's canonical path, layout and package type.
Add `xtool dev notarize` with submit, status, resume, log, staple and
verify actions for a signed developer-id app:

- submit zips the app with `ditto` into a release directory and sends
  it with `notarytool` using a keychain profile.
- Every step appends a numbered receipt that records the hashes of the
  uploaded archive and the signing receipt. Each resumed action checks
  them before contacting Apple, and an exclusive lock prevents
  concurrent runs on one directory.
- resume waits for a known submission. Stapling requires an Accepted
  result whose log matches the submission ID and the archive hash. It
  staples a copy, validates it and publishes it by renaming.
- Credentials stay in the keychain; only the profile name is passed or
  recorded.

Document notarization in the README.
SwiftPM only matches an installed Swift SDK by its unversioned triple,
so `--triple arm64-apple-macosx16.0` could not use the Darwin SDK on
Linux. Write a single-target destination (schema 4.0) derived from the
installed SDK into `.build/xtool-sdk` and pass it with `--destination`,
so SwiftPM applies the requested deployment version. Make relative SDK
paths absolute, keep an absolute swiftResourcesPath, and put the
toolset's rootPath on PATH so dsymutil is found.
MachOBinary.validate only recognised a static archive by the `!<arch>`
magic at the start of the file. A universal binary whose slices are
static archives, the usual layout of a `macos-arm64_x86_64` XCFramework
slice, was validated as a dynamic library and failed with "Wrong Mach-O
file type; expected 6".

Mark slices read from archive members and decide per slice whether an
object file or a dynamic library is expected.

MacBundleAudit accepted an @rpath dependency as soon as any rpath
candidate was a system path. swiftc adds LC_RPATH /usr/lib/swift to
every macOS executable, so every @rpath dependency of a Swift app was
treated as a system library and skipped: a framework missing from
Contents/Frameworks passed `dev build` and `dev verify` and then failed
in dyld at launch.

Require an @rpath dependency to resolve inside the bundle. Only Swift's
back-deployment libraries (`@rpath/libswift*`) may resolve to a system
rpath, since they ship with the OS.

xtool.yml's legacy `resources` list was copied to the bundle root on
every platform. On macOS the bundle root is outside the code
signature's resource seal, so codesign rejects the app, and
`Bundle.main` does not look there either.

Copy legacy resources to each product's resources directory instead:
unchanged on iOS (the bundle root), Contents/Resources on macOS.

SwiftPM extracts remote and zipped binary targets into its artifacts
directory, but leaves a local `.binaryTarget(path: "X.xcframework")` in
place and only copies the slice's library into the bin directory. The
static-archive lookup only searched the artifacts directory, so a local
static XCFramework whose LibraryPath is not `lib<target>.a` failed with
"Missing binary target".

Record the absolute path of local XCFrameworks from `swift package
describe` on the planned binary target, and read that Info.plist first.
Checked against a real local static XCFramework with
`xtool dev build --defer-signing`: it fails before this change and
builds and runs after it.

`dev run` captures app arguments with `.captureForPassthrough`, which
also captures unknown options and words. Because `run` is the default
`dev` subcommand, a typo stopped being a parse error:
`xtool dev run --cofiguration release` built Debug and passed the typo
to the app, and `xtool dev biuld` ran the app.

Only accept captured arguments after `--`.

The SwiftPM backend compiles Darwin targets for each package's declared
platform minimum and ignores the version in `--triple`. For a package
without `platforms`, xtool planned macOS 15.0 and the linker recorded
`minos 15.0` (via `-platform_version`), but Swift compiled against the
SwiftPM default, so macOS 15-only APIs such as `Mutex` failed
availability checking.

Pass `-target <compiler triple>` to the Swift, C and C++ compilers
through the target-only toolset, for direct executables and for the
generated wrapper package. The native fixture no longer declares
platforms and uses `Mutex` in both build paths.

Bundle assembly rejects raw asset catalogs, iconsets, storyboards and
XIBs in every copied input. SwiftPM's native build copies these into
resource bundles uncompiled, so an iOS app depending on a package with
an asset catalog, which packaged on main, failed to assemble.

Copy SwiftPM resource bundles as built on iOS again. User-supplied
inputs on every platform, and resource bundles on macOS, are still
rejected as documented.

ResolvedTarget used a package's declared platform version as the
deployment target and then rejected it when it was below xtool's
platform minimum. A package declaring `.iOS(.v12)`, which built on
main with no way to override it in a version 1 xtool.yml, failed with
"Deployment target 12.0 is below required minimum 13.0".

Raise a package minimum below the platform minimum to that minimum.
An explicit triple or schema version below a minimum is still rejected.

`xtool dev build-server` ran the full planner on every start (`swift
package show-dependencies`, `describe` and `dump-package` on the main
`.build`), bypassing the server's own `--disable-automatic-resolution`
and `--experimental-skip-acquiring-lock`. A broken manifest, a missing
Info.plist or an ambiguous product kept the editor's build server from
starting, and starting it could resolve over the network or wait on the
`.build` lock. Without xtool.yml it also printed a warning to stdout,
ahead of the build server protocol stream.

The generated `.bsp/xtool.json` now pins the planned compiler triple
(for example `arm64-apple-macosx15.0`), and the server resolves its
target from that triple and xtool.yml alone. Configurations generated
with an unversioned triple are still recognised and refreshed. The
missing-xtool.yml warning goes to stderr.

Each direct product's toolset carried its rpaths, extension entry point
and SDK `-platform_version` as Swift compiler options. Products share
one scratch path, so the differing compile command lines made SwiftPM
recompile every module for each product.

Put those options in the toolset's `linker` section and keep only the
deployment target in the compiler sections, so compile commands are
identical across products. Omit empty toolset entries, which SwiftPM
rejects.

This alone does not remove recompilation for macOS products with
resource bundles; the resource accessor overlay is handled next.

mrackwitz and others added 25 commits October 20, 2026 07:00
48441b6 passed `-target <planned triple>` to the Swift, C and C++
compilers through the SwiftPM toolset. A toolset applies to every
module in the build graph, so dependencies were compiled for the app's
deployment target instead of their own platform minimum. That breaks
packages whose backports are obsoleted on newer releases: building a
macOS 15.0 app that depends on swift-perception failed in PerceptionCore
with "'Bindable' is unavailable in macOS" on its own conformance
extensions. `swift build` and Xcode compile each package for its own
declared platforms.

Drop the compiler sections; the toolset now carries only the
per-product linker options. Binaries still record the planned
deployment target through `-platform_version`, so `minos` is unchanged.
A package whose own code needs newer APIs declares `platforms`, as it
must for `swift build`.

The native fixture now declares macOS 10.15 and ships a
swift-perception-style backport obsoleted in macOS 14; it fails to
compile with the previous toolset and passes now. A swift-perception
app built with `xtool dev build --configuration debug` fails at 344c06c
(8 unavailability errors) and succeeds here with `minos 15.0`.

macOS assembly rejected any SwiftPM resource bundle containing a raw
asset catalog, iconset, storyboard or XIB. SwiftPM's native build copies
those into resource bundles uncompiled, so an app could not be packaged
whenever a dependency shipped one: CodexBar fails on Vortex's
Assets.xcassets, a bundle the app author cannot change.

Copy SwiftPM resource bundles as built on macOS too, matching iOS
(6f7d68e) and `swift build`. Inputs supplied through xtool.yml are still
rejected.

9f36e62 made every build pass `--triple <planned compiler triple>`,
which always carries a version. SwiftBuild turns a versioned triple into
the deployment target of every package, so with Swift 6.4, where iOS
builds default to SwiftBuild, dependencies compiled for the app's
minimum instead of their own. A dependency with backports obsoleted at
that release then fails to compile, as e7a5f52 describes for the
SwiftPM backend.

Keep the triple selected at initialization, as on main. The wrapper
package's `platforms` already carries the plan's deployment target.

The 15.0 floor had no technical basis and raised packages that declare
an older minimum: CodexBar (14.0) then compiled at 15.0, where APIs it
uses are unavailable. AeroSpace (13.0) and CodexBar (14.0) build at their
declared minimums with this floor, and their binaries record those as
minos.

1f58f77 keeps the unversioned triple for SwiftBuild so packages compile
at their own minimums; the editor's build server inherits that. The test
still expected the versioned triple and failed on Swift 6.4, where
SwiftBuild is selected. The xtool build-server command keeps pinning the
versioned triple.

Products with macOS SwiftPM resource bundles were built twice per
invocation: once plainly, then again with `-vfsoverlay` for the adapted
`Bundle.module` accessor. The first pass of every invocation undid the
flags of the previous invocation's last pass, so even a no-op rebuild
recompiled every module twice.

Pass the overlay from the first build on. Its path never changes, and
before building it covers the accessors the previous build generated.
After the build, any accessor whose adaptation changed (all of them on a
clean build) is touched and the products are built once more with the
same flags, which recompiles only those modules and their dependents.
The wrapper package and toolsets are now written only when their
contents change, so unchanged builds do not relink either.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A clean build of a macOS app with SwiftPM resource bundles compiled
every module that owns a bundle, and every module depending on one,
twice: the overlay adapts the generated `Bundle.module` accessors, but
SwiftPM only writes them while planning the first build. CodexBar's
clean release build took 778 s, against 421 s for `swift build`; the
second pass recompiled the app module alone for 340 s.

When the overlay does not cover every resource bundle, run
`swift build --print-manifest-job-graph` with the same arguments first.
It plans the build, which writes the accessors, and compiles nothing.
The overlay then adapts them before the first compile, and the build
runs once.

The post-build pass stays as a fallback, and now also covers an accessor
the build compiled without adaptation whose adapted copy was unchanged.
That happened when `.build` was removed but `xtool/.xtool-tmp` was not:
the build compiled SwiftPM's own accessor, found no changed copy, and
shipped a binary that looks for resources at the build path.

MacOS.md named the app, the signing manifest and the signing inputs as the
files to transfer, but `dev verify` and `dev sign` also read
`<product>.artifact.json`. Following the page left it behind and both
commands failed on the Mac. The README already lists all four.

On Linux, every SwiftPM invocation for a macOS target writes its
generated destination to `.build/xtool-sdk` under `packagePath`. The
planner inspects dependencies through `withPackagePath(node.path)`, so
each `describe` and `dump-package` wrote that file into the dependency:
into `.build/checkouts/<name>` for remote packages, and into the user's
own source tree for `.package(path:)` dependencies.

Capture the cache directory from the root package when the settings are
created, so rebased copies keep writing there.

`dev run --app` built its audit target with `ResolvedTarget.resolve`,
from the host architecture and `LSMinimumSystemVersion`. That applied
xtool's build policy to apps xtool did not build:
- an app supporting macOS below 13.0 was rejected as below the required
  minimum;
- an x86_64-only app on Apple silicon failed the audit for lacking an
  arm64 slice, although Rosetta runs it;
- an app without `LSMinimumSystemVersion` was audited at 15.0, the
  former floor.

Add `ResolvedTarget.existing(triple:)`, which validates the triple's
syntax without the build minimums, and `MacBundleAudit.runTarget`. It
picks the main executable's slice for the host architecture, falling
back to x86_64 on arm64. The minimum comes from `LSMinimumSystemVersion`,
or else from the minimum recorded in that slice.

DevBuildRequest already loads xtool.yml; PackOperation loaded it again, so a missing config warned twice (once on stderr, once on stdout). Pass the schema and the effective triple through legacyPack, drop the unused default triple, and share the Package.swift check with the deferred macOS build.

…ndoff

A deferred build accepted any entitlement dictionary, and restricted
keys (application identifiers, team identifiers, keychain and app
groups, com.apple.developer.*) only failed later, at `dev sign`, often
on a different machine. DeferredSigningHandoff now applies the signer's
MacSigningPlan.validateEntitlements while the build records its inputs,
so the build fails before it publishes a handoff. The signer keeps its
own check for handoffs edited after the build.

BundleAssembler compared each symlink's resolved target against the
unresolved input root, so a framework's own relative links
(Versions/Current, the top-level binary) were rejected as escaping
whenever the package path ran through a symlinked directory. macOS
masked this for /var -> /private/var only because
resolvingSymlinksInPath strips /private.

ArtifactInventory already resolved its root; both now share
ArtifactInventory.isContainedSymlink, which resolves both sides. The new
test fails before this change with "Broken or escaping symbolic link in
bundle input".

Signing, notarization and `dev run` each declared a dependency client
with its own copy of the macOS host check and a Subprocess wrapper.
MacHostClient now owns the host check and the three ways these commands
run tools:

- capture: both streams captured; codesign reports metadata on stderr.
- stream: stdout captured while notarytool and stapler progress reaches
  the terminal, as before.
- launch: an app attached to the terminal, returning its exit status.

MacNotarizationClient keeps only verifySignature, the seam tests use in
place of native verification of genuinely signed apps. Unset members
default to throwing, so tests stub just what they exercise.

…path

Direct executables build from the root package and wrapped products from
xtool/.xtool-tmp, all in one scratch path. SwiftPM's cached build manifest
there does not track the package path or the --toolset. A product built
after another package's invocation therefore reused that manifest: wrapped
products failed with "No target named ... in build description", and direct
executables linked silently without their toolset options (no bundle
rpaths, minos and SDK left at the package minimum).

The native fixture now alternates a direct XPC service after a wrapped
extension. It fails without the flag (minos 11.0, missing rpaths) and
passes with it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The output directory depends on the package and the scratch path, not the
product. Ask SwiftPM once per package (root, wrapper) before building
instead of after every product build plus once more for the overlay.
Each query loads the whole package graph.

On a fixture app with 20 dependencies, two root executables and a
wrapped extension: 5 --show-bin-path calls drop to 2.

The wrapper package holds exactly the plan's library-sourced products,
so a plain `swift build` of it builds all of them. Since the build
manifest is no longer cached, each further `--product` invocation
planned the whole package graph again. Direct executables keep one
invocation each because each needs its own toolset.

Planning ran `describe` and `dump-package` for every package on every
build. A checkout pinned to a released version always inspects the same,
so cache its raw output under .build/xtool-inspection. The key covers the
toolchain version, identity, URL, version, checkout path and enabled
traits. Local, branch and revision dependencies report no version and are
inspected every time. An unreadable cache entry falls back to inspecting.

On an app with two remote dependencies, the second build inspects only
the root package: describe/dump-package calls drop from 3+3 to 1+1.

Provide resolved pins for the generated wrapper package.

When a .library product is wrapped, the generated manifest declares the root package as a local dependency. The wrapper build then uses xtool/.xtool-tmp as its package root with --disable-automatic-resolution. If the root dependency graph contains remote packages, SwiftPM can fail because it cannot find a resolved file for the wrapper package, or because that file is out of date.

Create a wrapper-compatible Package.resolved before this invocation. If copying the root file produces an invalid v3 originHash, allow automatic resolution for the wrapper invocation instead. Keep the root package's resolved file unchanged.

For SwiftBuild iOS targets, do not pin the versioned compiler triple in the BSP configuration.

The BSP branch always writes target.compilerTriple, for example arm64-apple-ios17.2, into the build-server argv. EditorTarget.serverSettings then builds BuildSettings(triple: request.triple) with that versioned triple. On Swift 6.4, iOS defaults to .swiftBuild. For SwiftBuild, withTarget deliberately keeps ["--triple", triple] unchanged.

The comment in BuildSettings.withTarget (lines 152–154) explains the risk. SwiftBuild applies a versioned triple's deployment target to every package. Dependencies then compile for the app's minimum instead of their own.

  • Builds avoid this problem.
  • The editor build server now has it.
  • Example: a dependency declares a backport obsoleted: below the app's minimum, as swift-perception does. The index build then reports errors that xtool dev build does not report.
  • The previous static BSP file passed no --triple, so this is a regression for iOS editor users.

Pin the versioned triple only where it is safe. The macOS SwiftPM path is safe because SwiftPM receives the version separately through --triple with --swift-sdk. For iOS, use the target's unversioned identity. isGenerated already accepts any valid pinned triple, so existing generated files are still recognized.

Update the BSP branch in the target configuration logic to pass the versioned
target.compilerTriple only for macOS; for non-macOS targets such as SwiftBuild
iOS, pass the unversioned target.triple to bspObject. Preserve the existing BSP
path and generated-file recognition behavior.

Update: restructured history, a build fix, and fewer SwiftPM calls

I force-pushed feat/macos-support (9758181 → 9683d82). The branch is now a series of focused commits on main. Cleanup is folded into the commits that introduced the code instead of being stacked on top.

Cleanup

  • Formatting of SDK identities and compiler triples, the macOS Swift SDK lookup, and validation of single path components each live in one place.
  • The bundle audit reuses MachOBinary's CPU and platform constants.
  • The editor configuration (LSP/BSP) reuses the plan the build already made, instead of inspecting the package a second time.
  • Mac host tools run through one MacHostClient dependency, replacing the separate signing and run clients.
  • Manifests, receipts and the signing dry-run share one sorted, pretty-printed JSON encoder.

Behaviour changes

  • Restricted entitlements are rejected at handoff (d9faa36). xtool dev build --defer-signing now rejects provisioning-dependent entitlements (for example com.apple.developer.homekit or keychain-access-groups) and malformed entitlement files on the build machine. Previously this only happened at signing time. The signer still rejects them if a handoff is edited afterwards. README and Configuration.md are updated.
  • Symlinked package paths (553cdb8). Symlinks that stay inside the bundle are now accepted when the package itself lives under a symlinked path, such as /tmp → /private/tmp on macOS.

Fix: stale SwiftPM build manifest in the shared scratch path (875538a)

Direct executables build from the root package and wrapped products build from xtool/.xtool-tmp, all in one scratch path. SwiftPM's cached build manifest there does not track the package path or the --toolset. A build that ran after another package's build therefore reused the wrong manifest:

  • A wrapped product failed with No target named '<Product>-arm64-apple-macosx15.0-debug.exe' in build description.
  • A direct executable linked silently without its toolset options: no bundle rpaths, and minos/SDK left at the package minimum (11.0 instead of 15.0).

The previous head had this bug as well. Builds now pass --disable-build-manifest-caching. The native fixture test builds a direct XPC service after a wrapped extension; it fails without the flag and passes with it.

Build performance

  • Ask SwiftPM for the build output directory once per package instead of once per product (cda0676).
  • Build all wrapped products in one SwiftPM invocation (e799262).
  • Parse Mach-O files from a memory-mapped buffer instead of copying every file, slice and archive member (3e694d5).
  • Planning inspects at most one package per core at a time (d93f754).
  • Planning reuses the describe/dump-package output of dependencies pinned to a released version. The cache lives in .build/xtool-inspection, keyed on toolchain, identity, URL, version, checkout path and traits. Local, branch and revision dependencies are inspected on every build (9683d82).

Measured on a synthetic app with 20 local package dependencies, two direct executables and three wrapped extensions. "Before" is the build fix alone, because the previous head could not build this fixture. The call counts are exact. The wall times are medians from a heavily loaded machine, so treat them as rough.

swift build calls median wall
clean 19 → 10 43.1 s → 33.5 s
no-op 13 → 6 12.7 s → 9.4 s

The inspection cache does not show up in that table, because all of the fixture's dependencies are local. On an app with two remote dependencies pinned to versions, a repeat build runs describe/dump-package for the root package only: 1+1 calls instead of 3+3.

Include the host platform in the inspection cache key.

If a checkout and its .build directory are used on both Linux and macOS, this key remains the same. A dependency manifest can use host-specific #if os(...) branches. inspect then returns the first host’s cached products, targets, or resources instead of inspecting the dependency for the current host. Add the host platform to the key. (github.com)
