Traits Support in Xcode 26.2 : an update and observations about building chat-ui-swift without the AnyLanguageModel shim #78
Description
So, I was trying to build chat-ui-swift, and the out-of-the-box clone of its repository imports this module, but the initial build failed. The Issues section is not available, so I am posting this here since it’s directly related.
TL;DR - I have a project setup that imports AnyLanguageModel directly without the local HuggingChatKit shim.
The README currently advises that a shim is necessary since traits support is still missing in Xcode 26.x. So chat-ui-swift imports (local) HuggingChatKit to perform this magic. Didn’t work for me since importing HuggingChatKit chokes on importing swift-collections for some reason (your mileage may vary - it’s not consistent)
step 1 : remove all existing packages - don’t forget the nagging module in the libraries section in the HuggingChat Target module’s General section
step 2: import mlx-swift-lm ( main branch)
step 3: now import AnyLanguageModel
step 4: Bob’s your Uncle
Only question remaining: aren’t traits running just fine, or am I still missing something ?
