Swift Package resolve large repository

[Ernest0-Production]

When connecting the library via SPM, AppsFlyer takes a very long time to download. This is because SPM uses not a shallow clone, but a full cloning of git history. I don't know the peculiarities of your repository, but it weighs unreasonably much. In my case, it's ~700MB.

I'm not an expert in git, but perhaps its size can somehow be reduced, or a new git repository can be created.

There are 2 new repositories appeared:

 # For statically linked library
 https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/AppsFlyerFramework-Static

 # For dynamically linked library
 https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/AppsFlyerFramework-Dynamic

I just checked that Dynamic lib eats at most 80KB of space!

Try it by yourself but keep in mind that static version has issue related with PrivacyManifest at the moment.

Forgot to check artifacts folder, it is of size 6.8Mb

Thanks for the quick decision! I'll check it out.

Although it seems to me that dividing repositories into static and dynamic was redundant 🤔 You could just create two products in Package.swift

UPD: https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/AppsFlyerFramework-Dynamic/issues/1

It looks like there is a very critical problem in the dynamic library repository

@Ernest0-Production please, check with build v6.14.1, the issue is fixed
