Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Most effective approach for building a client/server application (MacOS)
I use https://github.com/swisspol/GCDWebServer but there are many webservers you can use. You can even use the Apache that is part of the standard MacOS distribution, where you write a standard CGI to make the Mac do things. Python also includes a standard webserver.

In addition to what others have said, SwiftNIO is a possible low-level web server framework.

Apple Announces Full Swift Rewrite of the Foundation Framework
You could take a look a swift-nio (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio) which is a pretty high-throughput system. swift-nio does this using some reference-counted GC where it simplifies the code and doesn't affect performance. Otherwise, value-types are used which incur no GC overhead (unless they are copy-on-write, and backed by something that requires reference counting).

Are there any examples of major or highly complex software written solely or at-least primarily in Swift?
The UI and the Core are mainly written by Swift. The proxy server is powered by Apple Swift-NIO. Some critical parts (deal with low-level system APIs, high performant JSON Parser, de/compression, protobuf, BoringSSL,...) are written by Objective-C and C. For some parts that deal with Pointer, or C library, I continue using Objective-C since it's easier than using a bunch of Unsafe Swift classes (UnsafePointer, UnsafeMutablePointer, UnsafeRawPointer, etc)

Implementing Parts of the Swift Compiler in Swift
> Why should they? That isn't their target audience.
Because they need it?
Apple discontinued macOS server, i bet they use Linux in some of their servers
All their networking related libs are available and tested for Linux [1, 2]
Let's not forget that they package Swift for Linux, and now also for Windows [3]
Swift is crossplatform language (you not wanting to understand it doesn't change this fact), it's not a macOS framework

What is the simplest way to have local http server in iOS app?
I would look at NIO or something that uses it, like https://diamantidis.github.io/2019/10/27/swift-nio-server-in-an-ios-app

Update app from external source (maybe?)
i use swiftnio to spin up http servers. lots of documentation online. your app logic will be the same as ios but without swiftui and uikit.

Any tutorials you recommend for URLSession?
Depending on what you need, SwiftNIO might do the trick.

Is there a reliable swift package for running a tcp connection from an ios app ?
If you want something a little more robust for a low-level TCP connection, you can also use SwiftNIO.
What are some alternatives?
