Using these PIDs in apps should be used only if really, really needed. Use some other ways to identify users \/ customers \/ members of a club or anyone. An UUID or something.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used the Finnish PID verification as a small programming task in several courses, mainly to check prerequisites in programming skills when students enter my courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhows, I just wanted to try out creating a reusable Swift library as a Swift package<\/a>. Another thing I\u00a0wanted to learn is to write documentation using Swift DocC.<\/a> Third thing I wanted to experiment with this project was to add the library to Swift Package index<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swift Package Index is a place to find packages you may find useful and actually import into your own apps. Now you can find the FinnishPIDVerifier in the Swift Package Index too<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
