swift2 - Swift Package Manager - UIKit Dependency

Question

I have a Package.swift in my project like:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "ProjectName",
        dependencies: [
           .Package(url: "https://github.com/example/repo.git", majorVersion: 0)
        ]
 )

When I run swift build I get errors like…

/project/Packages/WebViewController.swift:1:8: error: no such module 'UIKit'
import UIKit
       ^

Where should I tell the swift package manager where to find UIKit?

You have to change some swiftc options to build the project against proper sdk and target

swift build -Xswiftc "-sdk" -Xswiftc "`xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path`" -Xswiftc "-target" -Xswiftc "x86_64-apple-ios13.0-simulator"
