Apple has open-sourced the Swift Build code engine in its development platform Xcode to address confusion around multiple build systems. This initiative aims to create a unified build execution engine for various platforms, not just iOS, but including Android, Linux, Windows, and others. The move is expected to improve cross-platform development and make project management easier for developers. The Swift Build engine is available on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, and though it can be utilized alongside the Swift Package Manager, the latter will continue using its default engine until further developments occur.
The main reason for open-sourcing Xcode's Swift Build engine is to unify and streamline the build processes for developers across multiple platforms.
