Is there already a built-in package manager in Swift? Maybe CocoaPods will have support for Swift but, as a completely new environnement, I'm hoping that Apple will add a dependency manager for Swift.
Xcode 6 provides better support for third-party frameworks, which certainly makes distributing packages without a third-party took like CocoaPods easier, but it doesn't have anything resembling a proper package manager or dependency resolution tool.
Right now, the state of distributing libraries in Swift seems to be "add it as a git submodule, and either add the xcodeproj and link the compiled framework or just drag in the .swift files, but let's hope the community comes up with something better soon".
I think Apple should build the basic hooks so that package manager like CocoaPods is possible but a better solution will emerge if the package system is handled outside of Apple which is likely have a huge legal that prevents healthy ecosystem.
