I feel so noob asking this question, but what is a target dependency? I see it all the time in Xcode.
To view and add dependencies, select a target and open its build phase settings. The Dependencies build phase contains the targets that Xcode must successfully build before it builds the current target. Xcode can build multiple dependent targets simultaneously if there are no interdependencies between those targets.
A dependency is another package that your package needs in order to work. Dependencies are specified in your pubspec. You list only immediate dependencies—the software that your package uses directly.
In Xcode, a target contains a collection of: files. environment variables. build system rules. build system actions.
Overview. Each target contains a set of source files that Swift Package Manager compiles into a module or test suite. You can vend targets to other packages by defining products that include the targets. A target may depend on other targets within the same package and on products vended by the package's dependencies.
A dependency is another target that must be built before the current target can be. For example, if you have an app target and a framework target, the app target can have the framework target as a dependency, to ensure that the framework is built first. That is, the app target "depends" on the framework.
