➡️ [**Get Started with Apollo iOS →**](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/ios/get-started?utm_source=github&utm_medium=apollographql_apollo-client&utm_campaign=readme)
## ❓ Why Choose Apollo iOS?
✅ **Intuitive caching** - Intelligent in-memory or SQLite out of the box
✅ **Highly configurable code generation** - The days of hand-writing models for network responses are over!
✅ **Opinionated** - Leads users down the "pit of success" and encourages good practices by default
✅ **Production-tested** - Powers countless apps worldwide that serve millions of end users
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Add Apollo iOS to your dependencies list
```swift title="Package.swift"
dependencies: [
.package(
url: "https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios.git",
.upToNextMajor(from: "2.0.0")
),
],
```
### Link the Apollo product to your package target
Any targets in your application that will use `ApolloClient` need to have a dependency on the `Apollo` product.
```swift title="Package.swift"
.target(
name: "MyApp",
dependencies: [
.product(name: "Apollo", package: "apollo-ios"),
]
)
```
> **Note:** Targets that only use Apollo's generated models don't need to be linked to the `Apollo` product.
