Why was this issue closed? I still see the "Unable to load the Read Me" text for this package in the "Add Package" window in Xcode.

What version of Xcode are you using and which version of apollo-ios are you targetting? I cannot replicate this issue, the README content displays as expected.

[calvincestari]

When you search for the apollo-ios repo to add what version does Xcode automatically target? I've seen that before the 1.0.0 release it would automatically select 0.9.0 instead of 0.53.0. I wonder if this is a similarly related Xcode bug?

I'm just not sure what we can do to fix this, or even debug it... It's likely this is an Xcode bug.

Thanks for the responses 👍 I was just curious as to whether somebody has found the root cause of this issue and a workaround because I'm experiencing it for a Swift package that I've published. I'm experiencing it for the apollo-ios package as well. See screenshot below. I'm experiencing this issue in Xcode versions 13.4.1 and 14.0.1.

Thread #716672 in the Apple Developer Forums describes the problem nicely. Sadly, that thread has plenty of upvotes but no answers.

I don't have any idea why this is happening unfortunately.

Xcode won't display README for Swift Packages on PRIVATE repos.

It's really as simple and dumb as that.

While the package manager finds and loads your package just fine from private repos, the element displaying the repo operates under the assumption that the README can be read without authentication.

@kibotu that would be understandable if apollo-ios were a private repo, but it's not. You wouldn't be able to post a comment here if it were.
