- ✅ Bundle Created: SwiftWarplyFramework_SwiftWarplyFramework.bundle
Phase 5 Status: ✅ COMPLETED
PHASE 6: COMPATIBILITY TESTING ✅ COMPLETED
Step 6.1: CocoaPods Compatibility ✅
- Existing .podspec remains unchanged and functional
- SPM Package.swift added without affecting CocoaPods
- No conflicts between distribution methods
- Dual distribution successfully implemented
Compatibility Verified:
- ✅ CocoaPods: Uses existing .podspec (includes all files)
- ✅ SPM: Uses new Package.swift (excludes React Native bridge)
- ✅ No conflicts: Both can coexist independently
Step 6.2: Client Integration Testing ✅
- SPM package structure validated
- Dependencies resolve correctly
- Framework builds successfully for iOS
- API compatibility maintained (no breaking changes)
Integration Verified:
- ✅ Package Resolution: Dependencies fetch correctly
- ✅ Build Process: Compiles successfully for iOS
- ✅ Resource Access: All resources properly bundled
- ✅ API Compatibility: No breaking changes introduced
Step 6.3: Version Compatibility ✅
- iOS 17.0+ support confirmed
- Swift 5.9 tools version (upgraded from 5.7 for better resource support)
- Xcode 15.0+ compatibility verified
Compatibility Matrix Verified:
- ✅ iOS: 17.0+ (as specified in Package.swift)
- ✅ Swift: 5.9+ (tools version)
- ✅ Xcode: 15.0+ (for Swift 5.9 support)
- ✅ Architecture: arm64, arm64e (tested on physical device)
Step 6.4: Mixed Language Handling ✅
- Successfully excluded Objective-C React Native bridge files
- SPM build works with pure Swift + resources
- CocoaPods still includes all files for React Native compatibility
- Optimal solution for dual distribution
Mixed Language Solution:
- ✅ SPM: Excludes
WarplyReactMethods.h/.m
(pure Swift) - ✅ CocoaPods: Includes all files (React Native support)
- ✅ Result: Each distribution method optimized for its audience
Phase 6 Status: ✅ COMPLETED
