What if this is a Swift Package? – Boltonia

For SPMs you can do as follows:

let package = Package(
    name: "Foo",
    products: [
        .library(
            name: "Foo",
            targets: ["Foo"])
    ],
    dependencies: [
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "Foo",
            dependencies: [])
    ],
    swiftLanguageVersions: [.version("5.7"))]
)

swiftLanguageVersions is the version of the Swift language to use for compiling Swift sources in the package. The value is passed as-is to the Swift compiler's -swift-version flag.
