BrowserServicesKit is a package that contains modules shared between DuckDuckGo projects.

The package uses submodules, which will need to be cloned in order for the project to build:

Run git submodule update --init --recursive

BrowserServicesKit can be built manually two ways:

1. Build the BrowserServicesKit scheme by opening the Swift package in Xcode
2. Run swift build -c release to build a release binary

Run swift test on the project root folder. Please note that running the tests on Xcode will not work.

In projects utilizing the Swift Package Manager, it may not be possible to specify a custom file name when creating new Swift files within Xcode, resulting in the generation of placeholder names (i.e. "File.swift"). To resolve this issue:

Run scripts/setup-new-file-template.sh

It will add a template named "Swift File For Package" to your Xcode templates, allowing for the specification of a custom file name when creating new Swift files.

We use SwiftLint for enforcing Swift style and conventions, so you'll need to install it.
