Capacitor Plugin Spm Support
If you're maintaining a Capacitor plugin and want iOS developers to install it through Swift Package Manager instead of CocoaPods, this walks you through the conversion. It covers creating the Package.swift manifest, converting your plugin class to use CAPBridgedPlugin with the right identifier and method registration, cleaning up the old Objective-C bridge files, and updating your package exports. The workflow is systematic: gather info from your podspec and existing code, set up the SPM structure, switch to Swift-based bridging, then verify with cap sync in your test app. It's aimed squarely at plugin maintainers, not app developers trying to consume plugins.

Add Swift Package Manager Support to a Capacitor Plugin
Make a plugin installable in SPM-based Capacitor apps while keeping its podspec for CocoaPods apps.
When to Use
TRIGGER when:
- A plugin repo has
ios/Plugin/*.swift+*.m/*.hwithCAP_PLUGIN(...)and no rootPackage.swift. - An app's
npx cap sync iosprints<plugin id> does not have a Package.swiftfor a plugin the user maintains. - A plugin works with CocoaPods but JS gets
"X" plugin is not implemented on iosin SPM apps. - Preparing a plugin for Capacitor 9 / CocoaPods Trunk read-only.
Do not use:
- App-side CocoaPods removal ->
cocoapods-to-spm. - Capacitor major bumps of a plugin ->
capacitor-plugin-upgrades,capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v8-to-v9. - Android-only plugin work, or non-Capacitor (pure Cordova, React Native) plugins.
Rules the CLI Enforces (non-obvious)
