What is a target in Swift?

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.

What is schema in iOS?

An Xcode scheme defines a collection of targets to build, a configuration to use when building, and a collection of tests to execute.

What is scheme in Swift?

A scheme is how you specify what you want to run and it also contains information about how you want to run it. For example, I could have a project with an iOS app and a Watch app, and in that case, I would have one scheme to run my iOS app and one scheme to run my Watch app. Run will run my app in the debugger.

  • A project is a set of files and general preferences.
  • A target is a subset of the files, and specific preferences (which override the project preferences).
  • Each target builds a product, which may be a library, executable, or framework.
  • Because a target builds something, it also has Build Phases and Build Rules, where you can add dependencies, and refine what gets copied where and how.

It's a good thing to have both because it lets you create different products from the same set of files. As an example, you can target different architectures/devices, or build a testing product which runs unit tests against your code.
