Description

This PR adds

  • support for Swift Package Manager on iOS
  • ios-spm-build-test.yml workflow to test SPM build on CI

CocoaPods support is preserved.

Test plan

CocoaPods

Run basic-example app and test if it builds and works properly.

SPM

Manual verification with a blank RN 0.87.x app:

  1. npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init MyApp
  2. cd packages/react-native-gesture-handler && yarn && yarn build && npm pack
  3. Go to MyApp project
  4. copy generated react-native-gesture-handler-2.29.0.tgz into it
  5. add react-native-gesture-handler: './react-native-gesture-handler-2.29.0.tgz' dependency inside package.json
  6. npm install
  7. npx react-native spm scaffold --deintegrate --yes
  8. npm run ios
  9. MyApp should build and work properly.
  10. You can add some basic react-native-gesture-handler usage to AppContent to check if everything is linked properly at runtime.

Worklets + GH test

  1. install "react-native-worklets": "0.13.0-nightly-20260913-5336bb7f4"
  2. repeat steps 7-8
  3. You can add some basic react-native-worklets usage to AppContent to check if everything is linked properly at runtime.

Build iOS (SPM) ci job should pass

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Swift Package Manager support for integrating Gesture Handler into iOS projects targeting iOS 15 and later.
    • Added optional compatibility with React Native Worklets when available.
    • Included the required SPM package metadata and configuration in published packages.
    • Added automatic registration for SPM-based React Native integration.
  • Tests

    • Added automated iOS Simulator build coverage for standard React Native and Worklets-enabled projects using Swift Package Manager.

Walkthrough

The change adds Swift Package Manager support for RNGestureHandler, publishes the required package files, registers the SPM dependency, and validates standard and react-native-worklets iOS builds.

Changes

Swift Package Manager integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package manifest and source prerequisites
packages/react-native-gesture-handler/Package.swift, packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGHStylusData.h, packages/react-native-gesture-handler/.gitignore, packages/react-native-gesture-handler/include/*
The package defines the RNGestureHandler library for iOS 15+, React Native dependencies, optional RNWorklets support, compiler settings, linked frameworks, and C++20. Supporting imports, ignore rules, and the required include/ directory are added.
Package publication and React Native wiring
packages/react-native-gesture-handler/package.json, packages/react-native-gesture-handler/react-native.config.js
The published package now includes Package.swift and include/. React Native configuration declares the RNGestureHandler SPM dependency.
Isolated iOS SPM build validation
.github/workflows/ios-spm-build-test.yml
The workflow uses a matrix for standard and worklets-enabled apps. It packages the library, installs it into isolated React Native apps, scaffolds SPM integration, verifies worklets linkage when enabled, and builds with an iOS Simulator.

Review details

Suppressed comments (2)

packages/react-native-gesture-handler/Package.swift:61

  • The SPM manifest advertises iOS 15.0, but the existing RNGestureHandler.podspec sets the library's minimum iOS version to 15.1 (RNGestureHandler.podspec:24). This lets SPM consumers select the package for an unsupported 15.0 deployment target and makes the SPM and CocoaPods integrations inconsistent; please use the same 15.1 minimum here.
    platforms: [.iOS(.v15)],

packages/react-native-gesture-handler/react-native.config.js:3

  • The description says this PR adds ios-spm-build-test.yml, but no such workflow is present in the changed files (and the existing iOS workflow path filters do not include Package.swift). Consequently this new manifest has no advertised simulator build validation in CI; please add the workflow or update the PR description/test plan.

8-33: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The manifest detects worklets only at ../RNWorklets/Package.swift; if the workflow scaffolds the installed package under its npm directory name, this condition remains false and the worklets job silently builds the non-worklets variant. Use the actual scaffolded sibling path so the optional dependency and compile definition are exercised.
