spm_update

Update all Swift Package Manager dependencies in your project to the latest versions that satisfy the version requirements defined in your Package.swift or Xcode project settings. This modifies Package.resolved with the new version pins. Use this to pick up bug fixes, security patches, and new features from your dependencies.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`projectPath`	string	No	—	Absolute path to the `.xcodeproj`, `.xcworkspace`, or directory containing `Package.swift`. If omitted, uses the current working directory.

Usage Examples

“Update all Swift packages to their latest compatible versions”

{
  "projectPath": "/Users/johndoe/Projects/MyApp/MyApp.xcodeproj"
