# package(url:_:) Adds a remote package dependency starting with a specific minimum version, up to but not including a specified maximum version. ``` static func package(url: String, _ range: Range) -> Package.Dependency ``` ## Parameters `url` The valid Git URL of the package. `range` The custom version range requirement. ## Return Value A `Package.Dependency` instance. ## Discussion The following example allows the Swift Package Manager to pick versions `1.2.3`, `1.2.4`, `1.2.5`, but not `1.2.6`. ```swift .package(url: "https://example.com/example-package.git", "1.2.3"..<"1.2.6"), ``` If the package you depend on defines traits, the package manager uses the dependency with its default set of traits. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
