Warning

This project contains an outdated snapshot of a subset of WinRT projections generated with swift-winrt, provided for illustration purposes. To use WinRT APIs in your Swift project, we recommend using swift-winrt directly to generate your own projections.

Swift Language Bindings for the Windows App SDK APIs

These APIs are intendened to be used in conjuction with the following projects:

• swift-winui
• swift-win2d

APIs

These projections contains a subset of APIs for the Windows App SDK, minus those of WinUI (Microsoft.UI.Xaml). See official documentation for more information on these components:

• API Docs
• Official GitHub repo

SDK Versions

1. Windows SDK: 10.0.18362.0
2. Windows App SDK: 1.5-preview1

Project Configuration

The bindings are generated from WinMD files, found in NuGet packages on Nuget.org. There are two key files which drive this:

1. projections.json - this specifies the project/package and which apis to include in the projection
2. generate-bindings.ps1 - this file reads projections.json and generates the appropriate bindings.

Filing Issues

Please file any issues you have with this repository on https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-winrt

Known Issues and Limitations

• Only x64 architecture is supported right now

• The developer experience for consuming WinRT APIs from Swift is a work in progress. Due to current limitations, not all APIs can be generated as this causes export limit issues.

• The APIs listed in projections.json are required for the other swift-* projects to build. Modify a projections.json in any one of those projects could require an update here.

Using Windows App SDK

In order to use the Windows App SDK, you need to download the Windows App SDK from here: https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/1.5/1.5.240205001-preview1/windowsappruntimeinstall-x64.exe
