Swift Language Bindings for the Windows App SDK APIs
APIs
These projections contains a subset of APIs for the Windows App SDK, minus those of WinUI (Microsoft.UI.Xaml
). See official documentation for more information on these components:
SDK Versions
- Windows SDK:
10.0.18362.0
- Windows App SDK:
1.5-preview1
Project Configuration
The bindings are generated from WinMD files, found in NuGet packages on Nuget.org. There are two key files which drive this:
- projections.json - this specifies the project/package and which apis to include in the projection
- generate-bindings.ps1 - this file reads
projections.json
and generates the appropriate bindings.
Known Issues and Limitations
-
Only x64 architecture is supported right now
-
The developer experience for consuming WinRT APIs from Swift is a work in progress. Due to current limitations, not all APIs can be generated as this causes export limit issues.
-
The APIs listed in projections.json are required for the other
swift-*
projects to build. Modify a projections.json in any one of those projects could require an update here.
