How do I install a newer swift-tools-version?

I'm attempting to create a new Swift package for the first time.

According to this Apple documentation, to create a package with bundled resources I need to be using swift-tools-version:5.3 however my system defaults to swift-tools-version:5.2.

I've checked the Apple Developer downloads portal for related files as well as Apple's SPM repo on GitHub but don't see any direction or guidance on this subject.

I'm running Xcode 11.6 (11E708) on Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101)

Solution

  • It's bundled within Xcode. If you need swift-tools-version:5.3, you need to use Xcode 12.

    The https://xcodereleases.com website is a good resource for understanding the Swift version that is bundled inside each version of Xcode.
