Swift Package Index

We sat down with @orta@m.webtoo.ls this week to discuss the plan for transitioning CocoaPods into maintenance mode. Give it a listen and find out what the plan is, and what you should be doing if you still use it.

Of course, we also pick a few packages, as always!

We’re interviewing @orta@m.webtoo.ls tomorrow on the podcast about how CocoaPods is transitioning into maintenance mode.

We can pass that message on or ask your question for you. Reply here or email contact@swiftpackageindex.com if you’d prefer anonymity.
