Swift Language Bindings for the Windows App SDK APIs
These APIs are intendened to be used in conjuction with the following projects:
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:
- Windows SDK:
10.0.18362.0 - Windows App SDK:
1.5-preview1
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.jsonand generates the appropriate bindings.
Please file any issues you have with this repository on https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-winrt
-
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.
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
