Replace the contents of `Package.swift` with [the contents of the included Package.swift](https://github.com/zeitlings/alfred-set-default-browser/blob/main/Package.swift) In your terminal, run: ``` swift build -c release ``` The executable is located in `.build/release/` (hidden folder) and is called `set_default_browser`. `release` is a symbolic link and, in my case, the path reads: `/.build/arm64-apple-macosx/release/set_default_browser`. Depending on your system, this might differ. Copy the executable and replace the version that comes with the workflow. __Some Popular Browsers__ ``` Name | Bundle Identifier -------------------------------------------- Safari | com.apple.Safari Google Chrome | com.google.Chrome Firefox | org.mozilla.firefox Opera | com.operasoftware.Opera Brave Browser | com.brave.Browser Tor Browser | org.torproject.torbrowser Microsoft Edge | com.microsoft.edgemac Vivaldi | com.vivaldi.Vivaldi ``` </details> ## Credit - [J.
