from this point on, I will assume, you have a basic understanding of Retrofit. To get the most out of this tutorial I would actually suggest you have a retrofit client already implemented in your application.

Show HN: Turn Your APIs into Swift Protocols
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Jun 2023

Hey HN!
If you're a fan of Swift you may have noticed that with WWDC 2023 came the (beta) release of macros. They're super powerful and expressive!
I've been wishing Swift had a [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) style API definition library for years, and with macros it seemed like this was now possible.
I'd like to show you all Papyrus, a library that turns your APIs into type-safe Swift protocols.
Would love to get your feedback.

for example https://square.github.io/retrofit/ have mentioned it in at the bottom. Similarly there maybe other rules for other dependencies. Usually I search the missing classes error in google and find some proguard rule for it.

So I've been playing around with search.maven.org and perhaps I'm not quite understanding it. For example, if I look for Retrofit I'm not seeing anything that resembles retrofit above https://central.sonatype.dev/search?q=Retrofit.
