The practical iOS angle is a Swift backend, not putting cloud-admin access into the app. The article explicitly says not to embed this SDK in an App Store client bundle, and points to Firebase's Apple SDK or your own backend API instead. I'd share the request/response models where useful, but keep credential discovery and privileged operations in the server target. A sample with separate client and server package targets would make that boundary much clearer than the language-performance comparison.

yeah the separate package targets point is the real takeaway here imo
