- Connect to all SMTP servers, through whether plain, SSL or TLS (STARTTLS) port.
- Authentication with
PLAIN,CRAM-MD5,LOGINorXOAUTH2. - Send email with HTML body and attachments.
- Customize validation method and mail header, to track your mail campaign.
- Queued mail sending, without blocking your app. You can even send mails concurrently.
- Works with Swift Package Manager, in the latest Swift syntax and cross-platform.
- Fully tested and documented.
Add the url of this repo to your Package.swift:
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YourAwesomeSoftware",
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/onevcat/Hedwig.git",
majorVersion: 1)
]
)Then run swift build whenever you get prepared. (Also remember to grab a cup of coffee 😄)
You can find more information on how to use Swift Package Manager in Apple's official page.

At this time Swift Package Manager has no support for iOS, watchOS, or tvOS platforms. So the answer is no. But this framework is not using anything only in iOS (like UIKit), so as soon as Swift Package Manager supports iOS, you can use it there too.
