Requirements for Swift Package Manager

Snyk supports only Projects using Swift 3.0 or higher.

A Package.swift file must be present for the Snyk CLI to discover the Project. Snyk uses the swift package show-dependencies command to build the dependency graph. Swift Package Manager supports pre-processing and post-processing. For post-processing, custom commands can add extra dependencies. Detecting such dependencies is not supported.

It is not possible to scan Swift Package Manager Projects using Git import.

Cocoapods and CLI

To build the dependency graph, Snyk examines the Podfile and Podfile.lock files. When working with Swift and Objective-C projects from the Snyk CLI, you can prevent testing any lock files that are out-of-sync by using the --strict-out-of-sync=true

For Cocoapods and Git, to test your Projects, Snyk analyzes the Podfile and Podfile.lock files.

The following summarizes support for Git import and testing.
