Summary:
Rebased onto `main` after https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/57757, https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/57756, https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/57762 and https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/57744 landed. Because this
PR renames `__doc__` and Prettier-formats every file, a hunk-level rebase was the
wrong tool — it stopped on the second of nine commits and the reformat commit then
conflicted with everything after it. So the history is **replayed** on top of the
new `main` instead, and reordered to put Prettier *before* the content edits, which
makes the substantive diff reviewable rather than tangled with reflow.
Verified nothing those four PRs added was lost: every heading on `main` survives
except the two this PR deliberately renames, and their facts — the
`artifactsVersionOverride` pin, the autolinking-config-command pin, the
pre-injection build-setting values, and the promoted-scalar caveat — are carried
into the new "Files the tool touches" table rather than sitting in a row this PR
deletes.
Housekeeping and accuracy pass over `packages/react-native/scripts/spm/__docs__`.
Docs only — no code or test changes.
**Rename.** `scripts/spm/__doc__` was the only `__doc__` directory in the repo;
every other subsystem uses `__docs__` (27+ directories, and the convention
documented in `__docs__/GUIDELINES.md`). The misspelling also meant these files
were **published to npm**: `package.json` includes `scripts/spm` in `files` and
excludes `!**/__docs__/**`, which the misspelled directory dodged.
**Removed two superseded documents.** `rfc-spm-xcframework.md` (707 lines) was a
stale ancestor of RFC0994, still describing `spm init`, xcodeproj *generation*, the
`.xcodeproj.legacy` rename migration, a `spm clean` command that does not exist,
stub `Package.swift` files and VFS overlays. `spm-plugins-assessment.md` evaluated
SwiftPM plugins as a replacement for the injected build phases — conclusion valid,
detail stale (it listed a "Prepare VFS Overlay" phase). Both have had their durable
content folded into RFC0994.
**Corrected the remaining docs against the implementation.** The substantive one:
auto-sync is **two** hooks, not one — a scheme pre-action in the app's *shared*
scheme plus the build phase. The docs described only the phase.
Two claims here are corrections of my own earlier drafts, made after testing them
on `private/helloworld` rather than reading the code:
- Neither hook can bootstrap a clean checkout. With `build/` deleted,
`xcodebuild -scheme … build` fails in nine lines of log, `Resolve Package Graph`
first, the pre-action never running. The one-time setup run really is required,
and the ordering table now shows the measured sequence.
- A sync failure is not unconditionally non-fatal. Exit 2 — a dependency with no
`Package.swift` — maps to `exit 1` and fails the build deliberately; only other
non-zero codes warn. As written, the doc also contradicted the exit-2 behaviour
documented elsewhere in the same file.
Smaller fixes: `hermesvm` → `hermes-engine` (that name is in no code), plugin
`watchPaths` added to the staleness inputs, and the `#auto-sync-build-phase`
anchors left dangling by the heading rename.
**Added a `__docs__/README.md` index**, per `GUIDELINES.md`, plus a **"Files the
tool touches"** table — there was no single answer to what the tool creates or
modifies. Writing it surfaced that `add` creates or appends to `ios/.gitignore`
(documented nowhere), and that `deinit` does not revert that block, anything
`--deintegrate` changed, or a promoted array setting — so the "exact inverse of
`add`" claim needed qualifying in three places.
**Documented `spm.dependencies`**, the SwiftPM analog of a podspec's
`s.dependency`, which was implemented but absent from every doc, and corrected the
scaffold prerequisite: it is `add`/`update` that stops, with a distinct exit code 2,
not the build.
**Prettier-formatted the docs, in its own commit.** These were the only unformatted
markdown files in the repository, so `prettier --list-different "./**/*.md"` goes
from three failures to clean.
## Changelog:
[Internal] - SwiftPM docs: rename `__doc__` to `__docs__`, remove two superseded
documents, and correct the rest against the implementation
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/58006
Test Plan:
- `npx prettier --check "packages/react-native/scripts/spm/__docs__/*.md"` passes;
`npx prettier --list-different "./**/*.md"` is empty for the whole repo.
- All 19 intra-doc anchor links verified against GitHub's slug rules; none dead.
Every relative path out of the new README resolves, including the root-index hop.
- `npm pack --dry-run --ignore-scripts` lists no `scripts/spm/__docs__/` entries
while every `scripts/spm/*.js` still ships.
- The Prettier commit is content-neutral: comparing `[A-Za-z0-9]+` token streams
across it, all three files are identical word for word.
- Behavioural claims traced to source: `VALID_ACTIONS` in `setup-apple-spm.js`;
`injectOrCreateScheme` / `addPreActionToScheme` and the `RC -eq 2` branch of
`buildSyncAutolinkingScript` in `generate-spm-xcodeproj.js`; `BUILTIN_FRAMEWORKS`
in `flavored-frameworks.js`; `generateXCFrameworksPackageSwift` in
`generate-spm-package.js`; `ensureGitignoreSpmEntries` and its `action =--sanitized--

It also changes the link in the template to make sure it's incorrect so people are forced to edit it when creating new docs.
