Assume you have a working swift package that previews a view see the following question on how to achieve that (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/651547?login=true&page=1#617372022). Note make sure your view is in the root folder of the package or live previews will not work.
Add a dependency to the package. Example shown below
The Problem
Currently when you add a swift package manager dependency to a swift package in which you want to view a live preview you receive the following error:
The Question
How do you view live previews of a SwiftUI view in Xcode 12 Swift Package assuming you have a newly created swift package with another swift package as a dependency?
Note: This may be a bug on Apple's part and if I do not see a response in a few days will file a bug report in feedback assistant.
