I put together a solution to enable proper snapshot recording of views in Swift packages:

https://github.com/teufelaudio/HostedSnapshotHelper

This covers sheets, alerts, and iOS 26 glass effects such as toggles, which look very odd in snapshots of views taken in a Swift package.

It's still a work in progress, but I welcome any feedback.

Swift Package Manager is a really great thing. But what always bothers me is that it simply downloads the entire repository, including every bit of rubbish from the repo, which is often completely unnecessary. It would be really great if I could use Package.swift to control which files and directories are important for the package. And then it should only download THOSE. It annoys me incredibly to clutter up other people's hard drives with useless stuff...

Question everything you know about package structure. Using versioned 𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑎𝑔𝑒.𝑠𝑤𝑖𝑓𝑡 files exclusively for tool versions? This article challenges whether that pattern actually provides value or just adds maintenance burden.
