This change is driven by CocoaPods entering maintenance mode and its registry becoming read-only on December 2, 2026. The Flutter CLI will automatically handle migration for app developers. Plugin developers must add SwiftPM support by adding a Package.swift file; 61% of the top 100 iOS plugins have already migrated. Plugins without SwiftPM support will receive lower pub.dev scores. A temporary opt-out is available via pubspec.yaml if issues arise. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
