Quick Start

Requirements

• iOS 16.0+ / macOS 13.0+ / tvOS 16+ / watchOS 9+ / visionOS 1+
• Xcode 16.4+
• Swift 6.1+

[!IMPORTANT] Check the Support Policy to learn when dropping Xcode, Swift, and platform versions will not be considered a breaking change.

Installation

Add supabase-swift as a Swift Package Manager dependency:

let package = Package(
    ...
    dependencies: [
        .package(
            url: "https://github.com/supabase/supabase-swift.git",
            from: "2.0.0"
        ),
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "YourTargetName",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "Supabase", package: "supabase-swift")
            ]
        )
    ]
)

If you're using Xcode, use this guide to add supabase-swift to your project. Use https://github.com/supabase/supabase-swift.git for the URL when Xcode asks.

You can also add individual libraries (Auth, Realtime, Storage, PostgREST, Functions) instead of the full Supabase product.

Initialize the client

let client = SupabaseClient(
    supabaseURL: URL(string: "https://xyzcompany.supabase.co")!,
    supabaseKey: "your-publishable-key"
)

Initialize with custom options

let client = SupabaseClient(
    supabaseURL: URL(string: "https://xyzcompany.supabase.co")!,
    supabaseKey: "your-publishable-key",
    options: SupabaseClientOptions(
        db: .init(
            schema: "public"
        ),
        auth: .init(
            storage: MyCustomLocalStorage(),
            flowType: .pkce
        ),
        global: .init(
            headers: ["x-my-custom-header": "my-app-name"],
            session: URLSession.myCustomSession
        )
    )
)

Additional examples are available in the Examples directory.

Support Policy

Xcode

We only support Xcode versions that are currently eligible for submitting apps to the App Store. Once a specific version of Xcode is no longer supported, its removal from Supabase won't be treated as a breaking change and will occur in a minor release.

Swift

The minimum supported Swift version corresponds to the minor version released with the oldest-supported Xcode version. When a Swift version reaches its end of support, it will be dropped in a minor release, and this won't be considered a breaking change.

Platforms

We maintain support for the four latest major versions of each platform, including the current version.

When a platform version is no longer supported, Supabase will drop it in a minor release, and this won't count as a breaking change. For instance, iOS 14 will no longer be supported after the release of iOS 18, allowing its removal in a minor update.

For macOS, the named yearly releases are treated as major versions for this policy, regardless of their version numbers.

[!IMPORTANT] Android, Linux and Windows work but aren't officially supported, and may stop working in future versions of the library.

Contributing
