ArrowFlight target is not exposed as a public product, preventing import

The ArrowFlight target exists in the package, but it is not exposed as a library product in Package.swift. Because of this, consumers of the package cannot import ArrowFlight.

Since it is not part of a .library product, SwiftPM does not make ArrowFlight available as an importable module to downstream packages.

.products = [
    .library(name: "Arrow", targets: ["Arrow"]),
    .library(name: "ArrowFlight", targets: ["ArrowFlight"])
]

@willtemperley Do you have any opinion for this?

[willtemperley]

No opinion other than the OP is correct. It had crossed my mind this should be done.

[kou]

OK.

@lukedg97 Could you open a PR for this?

Summary

This PR includes two targeted fixes to improve correctness and usability of the arrow-swift package:

Expose ArrowFlight as public library product

• File: Package.swift
• Change: Added .library(name: "ArrowFlight", targets: ["ArrowFlight"]) to products array
• Impact:
  • Downstream packages can now import ArrowFlight when depending on arrow-swift
  • Resolves issue where ArrowFlight target existed but was not importable

Testing

• swift build succeeds
• Existing unit tests pass
• Verified ArrowFlight module is now resolvable in dependent package
• Validated buffer alignment with IPC round-trip test

Related Issues

• Closes ArrowFlight target is not exposed as a public product, preventing import #115

Breaking Changes

None. Both changes are backward-compatible:

• Buffer alignment fix only affects internal memory layout (no API change)
• ArrowFlight exposure adds new public product without modifying existing ones
