Can not access public struct in swift new package-CodePudding

I start a new project in swift with a workspace. I add a new package in the project called ApplicationCore by using File - New - Package. After i add the new package i see a a file in the package which is automatically created called ApplicationCore.swift with the following code.

//ApplicationCore.swift

public struct ApplicationCore {
    public private(set) var text = "Hello, World!"

    public init() {
    }
}

Then i add another folder called Colors and inside this folder i create a new swift file called AppColors.swift. Here is the code...

//AppColors.swift

import Foundation

public struct AppColors {
    public let greenColor = Color.green
}

So i need to access the struct AppColors from within the struct ApplicationCore which exists in the ApplicationCore.swift file. I use this code inside ApplicationCore

public private(set) var AppColorGreen = AppColors.greenColor

I get a message saying

Cannot find 'AppColors' in scope

What am i missing? I am new to swift so any help appreciated.

Actual Path: Sources/ApplicationCore/ApplicationCore.swift and Sources/Colors/AppColors.swift

The problem seems to be that you've put your Colors folder in the wrong place.

For a package that provides a single product (library, executable, etc...), if that product is called X, then you want all of the source code for X to be inside of Source/X. This is how SPM sets up a package initially.

In your case, you have a package, which I suppose is called ApplicationCore, which provides a product/target that is also called ApplicationCore. So all of your source code should go into Source/ApplicationCore.

You don't have to use the same name for the product as for the package, but that is the default for the Package.swift file SPM creates. To change it, you'd need to edit the products and targets arrays in Package.swift, and name the directory in Source to be whatever name you pick for the product.
