You can consume xtool itself as a Swift Package, to enable your own app to interact with Apple Developer Services, iOS devices, and more. You can use this by adding XKit or XToolSupport as a SwiftPM dependency.
Note: while we aim to uphold semver semantics on the CLI interface (breaking change = major version bump), the Swift interface does not offer the same guarantees.
