Closing this, because we now support both iOS and macOS, and also have targets for tvOS and watchOS (untested).

Thanks! We're not intentionally limiting this to iOS, so we're definitely open to pull requests adding additional platform support. In fact, we merged support for Swift Package Manager just last week, and the contributor mentioned he had gotten things to work server-side with the Kitura web framework.

Support for macOS should be especially easy to add, because as you write there isn't much iOS specific code in there right now.

Calling the project Apollo iOS reflects what the majority of developers will be using it for, and makes it easy to find for them. But I agree that can be confusing for macOS or server-side Swift developers.

There is always the issue of naming Cocoa projects, and things have gotten even more complicated with the addition of non-Cocoa targets for Swift.

I didn't want to name the project apollo-swift because I wanted to leave open the possibility of supporting Objective-C (and someone is in fact working on an Objective-C target). I also didn't want to confuse people looking for a Swift GraphQL server.

Does closing this issue mean it already supports watchOS/tvOS?
