# SupportedPlatform

A platform that the Swift package supports.

```
struct SupportedPlatform
```

## Overview

By default, Swift Package Manager assigns a predefined minimum deployment version for each
supported platforms unless you configure supported platforms using the
`platforms` API. This predefined deployment version is the oldest deployment
target version that the installed SDK supports for a given platform. One
exception to this rule is macOS, for which the minimum deployment target
version starts from 10.10. Packages can choose to configure the minimum
deployment target version for a platform by using the APIs defined in this
struct. Swift Package Manager emits appropriate errors when an invalid value is provided for
supported platforms, such as an empty array, multiple declarations for the
same platform, or an invalid version specification.

Swift Package Manager emits an error if a dependency isn’t compatible with the top-level
package’s deployment version. The deployment target of a package’s
dependencies must be lower than or equal to the top-level package’s
deployment target version for a particular platform.
