The regular Command Line Tool template that comes with Xcode doesn't support Swift Frameworks. Swift Applications need a copy of the Swift Standard Libraries in their run path. The regular Cocoa Application template that comes with Xcode copies the Swift Standard Libraries to the app's bundle, but it also comes with storyboards and a lot of stuff that command line applications don't need.
The Swift Command Line Application template provides only what's needed to run a Swift Application using Swift Frameworks.
- Supports Swift Frameworks
- Script that extracts the executable, swift standard libraries and frameworks from the app's bundle.
- Open Xcode and press ⇧⌘9 or go to
File>New>Project - Select

- To add Swift Frameworks select the project, app target, and on the
Generaltab press+on theEmbedded Binariessection.
- Select your frameworks
- That's it (:
