Apple releases new functionality as swift-only. And these frameworks can't be used directly with robovm and requires a swift2objc wrapper (check https://github.com/dkimitsa/robovm-cocoatouch-swift).

it is bad idea to keep these in compiler/cocoatouch due:

• cocoatouch library already contains 10K classes and making it bigger is not good as affects compilation speed etc;
• cocoatouch library releases with each robovm release (even if there is no changes)
• swift2objc contains wrapper as binaries, that sometimes 1M+

it is better to use these frameworks only wher required as separate maven artefact.

Proposal is to create robovm-swift-cocoa repository which will contain:

• individual framework bindings in separate folders as standalone maven/gradle project;
• individual bingings will be released individually;
• individual bindings might have different version number;
• we will use com.mobidevelop.robovm:robopod-swift-${frameworknane}
• we will use version number in way: ${ios_version}.${iteration_number}, e.g. 17.0.0.2 for ios 17.0, where 2 is iteration version;
• we will keep released version in main branch;
• development for each frameworks will happens in stand-alone branches, where affected framework's version will be updataed with -SNAPSHOT suffix.
• framework with be released from corresponding DEV branch, versions will be set to release one.
• once released, release tag will be created in github, branch is merged into main and will be deleted.
• root readme files should list and track recently released version of all frameworsk. Individual folders might use own version history/readme file;
• as these bindings include binaries, all snapshots/releases should happen using GitHub action/builder to not have any compromised malware included into binaries;
• build release might be triggered by manual github action, there is no dependency on maven:release as it applies limitations.

I propose to start with creating repo and then I will create PR to add https://github.com/dkimitsa/robovm-cocoatouch-swift there as for start.
