It doesn't seem possible to use this package as a dependency of another

[valentary]

I was trying to separate out a component of ours into it's own swift package. This component manages uploads to our cloud service and relies on aws-sdk-ios-spm package.

In my app, the AWS package works just fine, but once I packaged all my code, and tried to add the AWS package as a dependency, I could not make it work, the dependency package would download, but there seemed no way to add it to any target. I would get errors similar to

"product AWSiOSSDKV2 required by package aws-sdk-test-package target aws-sdk-test-target not found"

I tried various different targets, products strings etc from what I could find in the AWS package file, but nothing would work

It can be recreated with any simple package structure, a default XCode created one works to replicate the issue, here is my swift.package file

// swift-tools-version: 5.10
// The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package.

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "aws-sdk-test-package",
    platforms: [
        .iOS(.v15)
    ],
    products: [
        // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, making them visible to other packages.
        .library(
            name: "aws-sdk-test-package",
            targets: ["aws-sdk-test-package"]),
    ],
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/aws-amplify/aws-sdk-ios-spm.git", from: .init(2, 34, 0))
    ],
    targets: [
        // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package, defining a module or a test suite.
        // Targets can depend on other targets in this package and products from dependencies.
        .target(
            name: "aws-sdk-test-package",
        dependencies: [
            // Things that didn't work
            "AWSiOSSDKV2",
            // "aws-sdk-ios-spm",
            // "AWSCore",
            // .product(name: "AWSCore"),
            // .target(name: "AWSCore")
        ]
        ),
        .testTarget(
            name: "aws-sdk-test-packageTests",
            dependencies: ["aws-sdk-test-package"]),
    ]
)

Hi @valentary! Thanks for opening this issue.

To add a product from this package as a dependency, you'll need to set both its name and its package:

dependencies: [
    .product(name: [Product Name], package: "aws-sdk-ios-spm")
]

So your package file would look like this:

let package = Package(
    name: "aws-sdk-test-package",
    platforms: [
        .iOS(.v15)
    ],
    products: [
        // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, making them visible to other packages.
        .library(
            name: "aws-sdk-test-package",
            targets: ["aws-sdk-test-package"]),
    ],
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/aws-amplify/aws-sdk-ios-spm.git", from: .init(2, 34, 0))
    ],
    targets: [
        // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package, defining a module or a test suite.
        // Targets can depend on other targets in this package and products from dependencies.
        .target(
            name: "aws-sdk-test-package",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "AWSCore", package: "aws-sdk-ios-spm")
                // + other products your package uses, .e.g "AWSS3", "AWSPinpoint", etc
            ]
        ),
        .testTarget(
            name: "aws-sdk-test-packageTests",
            dependencies: ["aws-sdk-test-package"]),
    ]
)
