Detailed image description of the sketchnote

Reasons

1. Reduce tech dept
2. More flexibility
3. Improve dev experience

Problem

• over 20 dependencies per module
• 30% mixed ObjC code

The roadmap

• create migration plan
• document
• estimate time

• Pack 3rd party dependencies in separate package
• Reduce complexity
• "Jungle" to calculate complexity

The migration

#if SWIFT_PACKAGE 
    import xx
#else
    import xy 
#endif

• package access modifier
• XING
  • dependencies
  • libraries
  • testing
  • UILibraries
