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.
