# swift-windowsappsdk
Swift Language Bindings for the Windows App SDK APIs
These APIs are intendened to be used in conjuction with the following projects:
- [swift-winui](https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-winui)
- [swift-win2d](https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-win2d)
## 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:
- [API Docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/)
- [Official GitHub repo](https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK)
### SDK Versions
1. Windows SDK: `10.0.18362.0`
2. 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:
1. projections.json - this specifies the project/package and which apis to include in the projection
2. generate-bindings.ps1 - this file reads `projections.json` and generates the appropriate bindings.
## Filing Issues
Please file any issues you have with this repository on https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-winrt
## 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.
## Using Windows App SDK
In order to use the Windows App SDK, you need to download the Windows App SDK from here: https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/1.5/1.5.240205001-preview1/windowsappruntimeinstall-x64.exe
