Requirements

Run requirement.ps1. Set powershell policy Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass if can not run script.

Note that this adds a development environment to the overall system, so be careful if you have already created a development environment. It is not a powerful script.

Install latest Swift SDK from thebrowsercompany/swift-build

Make sure to have the appropriate version of the Windows App Runtime installed as mentioned here

VSCode

VSCode is the editor of choice for developing Windows apps on Swift. You can install it from https://code.visualstudio.com/download.

If you choose to use Visual Studio Code, you'll need to install these extensions:

The build of the Windows applications is done through SPM. This can be done on the command line with swift build or in Visual Studio Code with Ctrl+Shift+B.

Debugging in VSCode

Debugging in VSCode is supported through LLDB. You can simply press F5 or navigate to the Run and Debug (Ctrl+Shift+D) pane.
