Are there instructions for building the swift package? i added the repo but noticed the framework isn't listed when i go to add it to the target

@itsthisjustin The Package.swift file was removed in favor of using the xcframework. For a swift project the xcframework can be used like this:

// 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: "Whisper",
    targets: [
        .executableTarget(
            name: "Whisper",
            dependencies: [
                "WhisperFramework"
            ]),
        .binaryTarget(
            name: "WhisperFramework",
            url: "https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/releases/download/v1.7.5/whisper-v1.7.5-xcframework.zip",
            checksum: "c7faeb328620d6012e130f3d705c51a6ea6c995605f2df50f6e1ad68c59c6c4a"
        )
    ]
)

I'll make sure we document this somewhere as I don't think we have. Perhaps this should also be included in the release notes moving forward, providing the correct checksum as well.

This is super helpful. I'd say a little guide for us Swift folks could be super useful. This isn't a "standard" way to use a package like this so it's slightly outside of my existing knowledge compared to how it used to work.

Also not sure if unique to me but i couldn't build the script with xros as the visionOS command. I had to change it visionos and then it build the binaries.

Same here, got a unknown platform: xros error when running ./build-xcframework.sh directly, works after replace xros with visionos in line 347

@itsthisjustin @n374 Thanks for reporting this. I'll take a closer look.
