Scaffold, build, and package SwiftPM-based macOS apps without Xcode project. Use when you need a from-scratch macOS app layout, SwiftPM targets/resources, custom .app bundle assembly, or signing/notarization steps outside Xcode.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# macOS SwiftPM App Packaging

## Overview

Bootstrap a complete SwiftPM macOS app, then build, package, and run it without Xcode. This skill covers the full workflow from project scaffolding to release distribution.

## Project Scaffolding

### Basic Structure

### Package.swift

```swift
// swift-tools-version: 5.9
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "MyApp",
    platforms: [.macOS(.v14)],
    products: [
        .executable(name: "MyApp", targets: ["MyApp"])
    ],
    targets: [
        .executableTarget(
            name: "MyApp",
            resources: [
                .process("Resources")
            ]
        )
    ]
)
```

### version.env

```bash
APP_NAME="MyApp"
BUNDLE_ID="com.example.myapp"
VERSION="1.0.0"
BUILD_NUMBER="1"
MIN_MACOS="14.0"
# Set to 1 for menu bar apps

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/release-macos-spm-packaging@sha256:f7403fabc845156a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.257fb2a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
