💬 In this session we will talk about an #approach that can be applied to all projects based on a modular architecture for their application.
🗂️ The goal of the talk is to show #howto organize developments in such a way that all benefits derived from closed frameworks, pods/packages and targets can be easily exploited within the project.
In this session, we will explain how to enable your modules to work both as a closed and open frameworks through Cocoapods, and how to make these same modules usable as targets of your application through the use of automatic generation tools like Tuist.
The talk will last approximately 25 minutes of general explanation on how modules work and how to organize the project, followed by 10 minutes for the demonstration of a project with three major steps of conversion: initially using Tuist to create targets, then using Cocoapods to create private pods and, finally, using the latter to create pre-compiled frameworks.
From this talk, we are going to show several solutions to manage modular architectures, analyzing pros and cons of some of the possible approaches.
You can learn how to setup your project to be ready for new applications that might need to integrate modules already available for other applications of your echosystem.
🏋️ At the end of the session, you will be able to overcome the limitations of closed frameworks related to debugging and #problemsolving by learning how to switch from pre-compiled frameworks to visible source code.

What did I just see? Is this some sort of a joke?

Why?

@@SwiftHeroes Do I get it correctly: the proposed solution aims at old and large codebases, when mistakes have already been made, but migration to SPM for modules with multiple project repo for each platform is too expensive?
