Goal

Update the project for 2022.

Implementation details

• Update RxSwift 5 to 6
• Target Swift 5.6
• Remove xcodeproj, use Package.swift
• Remove obsolete Support Files
• Remove test plan, use swift test
• Remove CocoaPods support, use SPM
• Remove Carthage support, use SPM

Testing details

I use swift test instead of a test plan.

Notes

Formatting

I want to format the entire code base using some formatter after we're done here, but that should be a last step before everything else is discussed and approved. Ideally, I want the indentation to be 2 spaces, instead of 4, and target 80 columns instead of 120+ as it is right now.

Documentation and Nef

I'm having trouble building/updating the documentation using Nef.

• Nef is very obscure, and the documentation is hard for me to understand. It seems almost like Nef itself only exists because of Bow. Who uses Nef anywhere else?
• I wanted to add a SPM plugin to build documentation without explicitly installing Nef using Homebrew or some other way. But I can't add Nef as a "dev dependency" to Bow, because Nef itself depends on Bow, it's a circular dependency.
• When I try to generate the documentation using Nef, it just hangs. I can't figure out what it's trying to do, because there's no logs.
