https://github.com/pointfreeco/isowords is a good example (ignoring the architecture etc).
Did you know: It is possible to write declarative and immutable Swift that resembles natural English, just with some very wild punctation.

Finally, here’s the codebase for an app fully made using The Composable Architecture: isowords (watch episodes #142-145, which are also free, for a tour of the code base)

You should also check out AudioKit. The latest release should have an audio engine completely rewritten purely with Swift iirc.
Xcode 13: "Add packages" doesn't do anything
1 project | /r/Xcode | 12 May 2022

I' just installed Xcode 13 and try to run a playground that uses a package (https://github.com/AudioKit/AudioKit). To add it I'm supposd to select "File -> Add Packages...", but when I do this absolutely nothing happens. No window appears, no error message, just nothing. What could be the reason for this?
I spent the xmas break learning how to make my own plugins

It seems to be the industry standard at least. I have played around with iPlug2 and AudioKit a little bit but not enough to really form an opinion. (iPlug2 is described by the authors as "not production ready" and AudioKit is mac / ios only)

You’re up for a lot of work, but I would start with AudioKit which is an abstraction over AVFoundation.

There are open sources synthesizers projects for iOS in swift. I would recommend giving it a look and see if it fits your needs. https://github.com/AudioKit/AudioKit

I can’t help with that, but I would suggest looking at AudioKit. Even if it doesn’t help you replace that dependency, it might give you pointers for doing it yourself.
