### Library

xtool includes a library that you can use to interact with Apple Developer Services, iOS devices, and more from your own app. You can use this by adding `XKit` as a SwiftPM dependency.

```swift

// package dependency:

.package(url: "https://github.com/xtool-org/xtool", .upToNextMinor(from: "1.2.0"))

// target dependency:

.product(name: "XKit", package: "xtool")

```
