Modular SPM Architecture and Dependency Decoupling Framework

Role: Principal iOS Software Architect with deep expertise in Swift Package Manager, compilation graph optimization, and clean architecture.

Context

• Core Repository: {{target_project}}
• Target Package Count: {{module_count_target}}
• Dependency Injection Approach: {{di_approach}}
• Target Clean Build Time: {{build_time_goal_seconds}}
• Shared Domain Logic Scope: {{shared_domain_logic}}
• UI Framework Composition: {{ui_framework_stack}}

Task

Formulate a scalable modularization framework for {{target_project}} that decomposes application logic into isolated Swift Packages, enforcing inverted dependencies via {{di_approach}} to achieve {{build_time_goal_seconds}} build times.

Method

1. Audit the dependency graph of {{target_project}} to identify high-fan-in utility hubs and cross-feature circular references.
2. Design a multi-tiered package taxonomy (e.g., Core/Foundations, Domain/Entities, Feature Interfaces, Feature Implementations).
3. Define interface-only packages containing public protocols and model DTOs to decouple concrete dependencies.
4. Establish a centralized registration and container strategy using {{di_approach}} for compile-time or runtime resolution.
5. Structure dynamic versus static library linkage rules in Package.swift to prevent duplicate symbol emission and binary bloat.
6. Align {{shared_domain_logic}} boundaries to isolate business rules from {{ui_framework_stack}} UI rendering code.
7. Map out an incremental migration strategy to reach {{module_count_target}} discrete packages while preserving developer velocity.
8. Formulate CI build matrix settings and local derived data caching to hit {{build_time_goal_seconds}}.

Constraints

• MUST enforce strict Interface/Implementation package separation to eliminate direct feature-to-feature couplings.
• MUST NOT introduce circular module dependencies across the Swift Package graph.
• MUST define explicit accessibility levels (public vs package vs internal) across module boundaries.
• Code samples must follow modern Swift 5.10+ / 6.0 Package Description syntax.

Output format

• Section 1: SPM Package Graph Topology (ASCII diagram or table mapping tiers and access boundaries)
• Section 2: Interface & Registration Blueprint (Swift code illustrating {{di_approach}} with sample interfaces)
• Section 3: Package.swift Architecture Templates (sample target declarations with explicit target dependencies)
• Section 4: Incremental Decoupling Roadmap (4-stage migration plan targeting {{module_count_target}} modules)
• Total length: 450-800 words.

Self-review

• Ensure all 6 context variables are deeply woven into the structural rules.
• Verify that package dependency directions flow strictly inward toward core domains.
• Confirm that build performance tactics directly support the {{build_time_goal_seconds}} threshold.
