You are always my hero. A few years ago, I struggled to use the ros2\_objc, and ultimately I wasn’t able to get it working. This time, I decided to rewrite everything from scratch as a pure Swift package:

> rocket Excited to share that swift-ros2 — the wire layer that powers the Conduit iOS app: is now available as a standalone open-source Swift package under Apache 2.0: Since its App Store debut in January, Conduit peaked at #4 in the Developer Tools category and has been used by over 10,000 ROS 2 developers worldwide. The feedback from that community made it clear: the real value wasn’t only the iOS app — it was the Swift-side ROS 2 wire stack underneath it. So as part of this open-source…

It now supports not only DDS but also Zenoh directly. You can run builds on iOS/macOS/Linux. Please take a look.
