Please give SPM support some attention #77

Hi guys!

I see development of new features taking place, and the working SPM branch is lying dormant falling behind. As we are using the SDK in a government critical app I really need to know that SPM support won't be forgotten. Whether it is my SPM adaptation or something else is of no importance, but since SPM is now the official package manager of the platform, I hope support will be prioritised, such that optimisations, features and bug fixes will find their way into the SPM version as well. Is this something we can rely on? 😬 @chriscombs @pbodsk @mariusc

Hey Jakob,

I see your concern and it makes sense. I want to clarify that we are not working on new features for the NStack SDK, the activity you have been seeing lately revolves around creating a demo project which showcases the already existing features in the NStack SDK.

Regarding SPM support, that is on our to do list and is something we would like to get shipped rather sooner than later. It's a matter of getting time for that. However, since we don't have the luxury of working on a single app, and we have to maintain multiple ones, all of them using either Carthage or CocoaPods, we must also keep support for those dependency managers, and having support for all three turned out to be a lot more complicated than expected.

Hope that answers your concerns :)

Hi @mariusc! Hope you're well!

Thank you, it does, and I of course understand that there's only so much time, and client apps need to be prioritized. However since NStack is a product in and of itself and is being sold externally (at least to our company) as a BAAS/SAAS, I hope the powers that be will help you in your efforts to support this by allocating the required time 😅

Best regards Jakob
