Reduce Package size

[emartinson]

Problem Statement

Hi! Every time I rebuild my SPM it stucks on fetching Sentry. It drives me crazy. Can you please reduce Package size?

I don't understand this madness to download 1Gb+ binaries in case I need only static Sentry framework for iOS.

Not all users have stable internet connection.

Solution Brainstorm

Perhaps you'd better split this Package.swift into several ones.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

Hey @emartinson,

Unfortunately this is a problem with SPM which downloads all products before resolving dependencies.
We are already working on build from source, it will very likely be the default in v10, and once we do that we will move the prebuilt binaries to a different repository to avoid this issue

@itaybre Thank you!

My workaround which works smoothly is to add a local Package to my project:

// swift-tools-version: 6.0
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "SentryWrapper",
    platforms: [.iOS(.v16)],
    products: [
        .library(name: "SentryWrapper", targets: ["SentryWrapper"])
    ],
    targets: [
        .binaryTarget(
            name: "SentryWrapper",
            url: "https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa/releases/download/9.10.0/Sentry.xcframework.zip",
            checksum: "166692d02bb59fe9a158fe59b16e122fda40dddf6deaabed65a9e4b240f84c9b"
        )
    ]
)
