Expected Behavior
The initial download of the SDK using SPM should be very fast as the framework is relatively small.
Current Behavior
Integrating the SDK causes a download of the entire git history so we have to wait for 1.4 GB of data to be downloaded before it is usable. This is pretty slow unless you are wired in on a fast connection.
The same thing happens when you clear the caches repositories under ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm.
Steps to Reproduce
In a new Xcode project integrate https://github.com/iZettle/sdk-ios via SPM.
Context
Please provide any relevant information about your setup. This is important in case the issue is not reproducible except for under certain conditions.
- Operating Version: macOS 14.5
- SDK version: 4.0.1
Failure Logs
Couldn't get any logs, but Xcode does show the timing information where the SDK took 707s to download.

Suggested solution
With other vendors, they've started a separate repository for hosting only the Package.swift which contains links to binaries & hashes of the specific release. With this approach the Package repository remains small as only the package file is included in the history. See https://github.com/intercom/intercom-ios-sp for an example.
