'ParseSwift' package required by package ... not found. When specified in Package.swift file

Client SDKs ParseSwift SDK

I’m refactoring some code, and I’ve gone from linking the Package via Xcode’s Package dependencies to making it a dependency in the Package manifest of a local package:

// swift-tools-version: 5.9

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "CPNetworking",
    platforms: [
        .iOS(.v17)
    ],
    products: [
        // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, making them visible to other packages.
        .library(
            name: "CPNetworking",
            targets: ["CPNetworking"]),
    ],
    dependencies: [
        // Dependencies declare other packages that this package depends on.
        .package(name: "CPCore", path: "../CPCore"),
        .package(name: "TestingUtils", path: "../TestingUtils"),
        .package(url: "https://github.com/kean/Get.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "2.1.6")),
        .package(url: "https://github.com/parse-community/Parse-Swift", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.14.2"))
    ],
    targets: [
        // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package, defining a module or a test suite.
        // Targets can depend on other targets in this package and products from dependencies.
        .target(
            name: "CPNetworking",
            dependencies: ["CPCore", "Get", "ParseSwift"]
        ),
        .testTarget(
            name: "CPNetworkingTests",
            dependencies: ["CPNetworking", "TestingUtils"]
        )
    ]
)

When trying to build this, it does indeed retrieve the package, but then has the error:

product 'ParseSwift' required by package 'cpnetworking' target 'CPNetworking' not found.

I don’t think it gets any simpler than this. So I’m curious as to what the problem might be.

I can now answer my own question. It has to do with the fact that the Product is called ParseSwift but the repository is called “Parse-Swift”, so some “automagic” is lost, and one has to specify the “ParseSwift” dependency somewhat differently:

So in the above Package manifest, here would be the updated .target:

        .target(
            name: "CPNetworking",
            dependencies: [
                "CPCore",
                "Get",
                .product(
                    name: "ParseSwift",
                    package: "Parse-Swift"
                ) 
                // thank you this guy: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71484023
            ]
        ), // ...
