Caching frameworks is a popular technique to tackle project build time in many large-scale projects. A few outstanding tools in this category are cocoapods-binary-cache, Rugby, and XCRemoteCache. Rugby and cocoapods-binary-cache are particularly tailored for CocoaPods-based projects while XCRemoteCache works for a more general project structure. However, all three of them has the same limitation: lacking support for SPM/Swift packages.
This xccache tool attempts to bridge that gap.
The long-term vision of this initiative is to make it a unified caching tool for iOS projects, including CocoaPods-based structures.
Via Bundler: Add the gem xccache to the Gemfile of your project.
gem "xccache"Via RubyGems:
$ gem install xccacheCheck out this doc: Getting Started
TLDR: Simply run xccache to set it up. Run xccache --help to explore the usages.
If caches are in place, you should see this in Xcode build logs.
