Summary

When designing Swift errors for an SDK, developers must consider that these errors function more like strict API contracts than general app-level exceptions, creating a significant difference from traditional error handling used in user-facing applications. This distinction means that error definitions become critical for defining the expected behavior across different user segments, ensuring consistency even when APIs change. For instance, errors designed for a general SDK might require stricter validation rules for developers to implement robust error reporting, whereas errors intended for an app are often more forgiving but still require careful attention to user experience guidelines to prevent unexpected failures.
