• Early beta: SwiftPM template/CLI/web documentation in parallel
• Experimenting with macOS distribution, signing, and notarization

Used Tools & Skills

Skills

• Swift template design
• Python-based CLI tooling
• GitHub Actions
• Codesign/Notarization pipeline

Motivation

Can we easily and conveniently integrate Python into Apple platform projects? Building on the thread management and Python runtime bundling experience from Applepie-RPC, the goal was to make these capabilities available to anyone through "templates + CLI." The workflow aims to bootstrap new projects at once by bundling Swift templates and Python scripts.

Learned

• Designed a pipeline for generating and extending SwiftPM templates from CLI
• Swift <-> Python bridge (Transcript) design, runtime/package bundling
• Automating codesign/notarization with GitHub Actions while handling docs/deployment simultaneously
• Documented the process of embedding Python runtime/packages in macOS apps with signing and notarization
