In order to get things like autocomplete & validation there would have to be a vended framework that you could add to an Xcode project. It's quite a bit of work to get this done. If you're wanting to write manifests in Swift I'd suggest giving Tuist a shot. I've used it and writing the manifests in Swift is quite nice but there are tradeoffs for sure (XcodeGen is way way faster for example).
