'Xcode Swift Package Manager error - The repository could not be found
I can't find any SO questions regarding this, but I've run into this problem twice. Basically when I'm trying to add a new package via SPM, I sometimes get the following error:
The repository could not be found. Make sure a valid repository exists at the specified location and try again.
For example, I'm trying to get PanModal (https://github.com/slackhq/PanModal) and I get the following:
What's especially interesting is that while Xcode claims that the repo is not found, it can discover its version on the previous screen:
What can be wrong here? Arguably PanModal just got SPM support, but that's 15 hours ago and I think that should be enough. Also iiuc SPM is decentralized so there shouldn't be cache or registry stuff that's in the way?
Thank you!

clean DerivedData and add Package again
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

When this happened in Xcode 13.3, I just had to trigger the Reset Package Caches action in the Packages menu.

I had to disable HTTPS to SSH rewriting for Git.
Check inside your ~/.gitconfig file if you have some line such as:
[url "[email protected]:"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/
If so comment it or remove when adding Swift Package Manager dependencies.

For me, I just had to relaunch Xcode ¯\(?)/¯
