"is only available is iOS 16 or newer"

[Jonovono]

I am trying to use pkl swift in my ios project. Here are my steps.

1. Project -> package dependencies -> add
2. Add: "https://github.com/apple/pkl-swift.git"
3. MessagePack -> None, PklSwift -> Added to target, pkl-gen-swift -> None
4. Build to simulator or device
5. I get errors: "checkouts/pkl-swift/Sources/PklSwift/API/Duration.swift:65:44 'Duration' is only available in iOS 16.0 or newer"
6. My minimum deployment is set to 17.

Any ideas? Can you use this on iOS?

Ah, I see it's only available on mac:

let package = Package(
    name: "pkl-swift",
    platforms: [
        // required because of `Duration` API
        .macOS(.v13)
    ],

Will this ever be available for ios?

[stackoverflow]

Some libraries we use are not yet fully supported on iOS, but we do want to add iOS support for pkl-swift.

Very cool, thanks @stackoverflow. Will be monitoring the project :)

Any update?

I see this has been stale for a while, but I too am curious about this.

I understand the reason that pkl-swift is not yet supported on iOS in its current form; however, I was wondering if the team had considered any intermediate solutions? Perhaps creating a variant of/argument to pkl-gen-swift that generates models that are simply Codable (or maybe just Decodable) and would be compatible with JSON formatted Pkl evaluations?
