Example usage

Get the release tag for the currently selected toolchain

curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swiftwasm/swift-sdk-index/refs/heads/main/v1/tag-by-version.json" | jq --arg v "$(swiftc --version | head -n1)" '.[$v]'

[
  "swift-6.0.3-RELEASE"
]

Install correct Swift SDK for the currently selected toolchain

(
  set -eo pipefail; \
  V="$(swiftc --version | head -n1)"; \
  TAG="$(curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swiftwasm/swift-sdk-index/refs/heads/main/v1/tag-by-version.json" | jq -e -r --arg v "$V" '.[$v] | .[-1]')"; \
  curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swiftwasm/swift-sdk-index/refs/heads/main/v1/builds/$TAG.json" | \
  jq -r '.["swift-sdks"]["wasm32-unknown-wasi"] | "swift sdk install \"\(.url)\" --checksum \"\(.checksum)\""' | sh -x
)

+ swift sdk install https://github.com/swiftwasm/swift/releases/download/swift-wasm-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2025-01-11-a/swift-wasm-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2025-01-11-a-wasm32-unknown-wasi.artifactbundle.zip --checksum c9b4f4c16015d196e565105a74bf39432f8ba8139c390052b221a5c12fcaf9be
...

Get the id of the Swift SDK compatible with the currently selected toolchain

export SWIFT_SDK_ID=$(
