package.swift file required to authenticate with aws codeartifact registry

[tushar1998]

Is it reproducible with SwiftPM command-line tools: swift build, swift test, swift package etc?

• Confirmed reproduction steps with SwiftPM CLI.

Description

I am using a xcode project I don't understand why it needs package.swift file. .xcodeproj handles internally all dependencies !!
To overcome this I always have to make the package.swift which is reduntant as it is only required if you are making a switf package, or cross platform code

Expected behavior

aws codeartifact login --tool swift --domain <domain> --domain-owner <domain-owner> --repository <repo> --namespace <namespace> --region us-west-2

Successfully configured swift to use AWS CodeArtifact repository https://<domain>-<domain-owner>.d.codeartifact.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/swift/<repo>/ 
Login expires in 12 hours at 2024-06-06 07:02:18+05:30

Actual behavior

aws codeartifact login --tool swift --domain <domain> --domain-owner <domain-owner> --repository <repo> --namespace <namespace> --region us-west-2

Command '['swift', 'package-registry', 'set', 'https://<domain>-<domain-owner>.d.codeartifact.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/swift/<repo>/', '--scope', <namespace>]' returned non-zero exit status 1. Stderr from command:
Error: Could not find Package.swift in this directory or any of its parent directories.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a xcode project File -> New -> Project
2. Try using a codeartifact swift package
3. Follow docs to consume package
