-##### Xcode
-
-From Xcode 11 it is possible to [add Swift Package dependencies to Xcode
-projects][xcode-spm] and link targets to products of those packages; this is the
-easiest way to integrate gRPC Swift with an existing `xcodeproj`.
-
-##### Manual Integration
-
-Alternatively, gRPC Swift can be manually integrated into a project:
-
-1. Build an Xcode project: `swift package generate-xcodeproj`,
-1. Add the generated project to your own project, and
-1. Add a build dependency on `GRPC`.

 ### Getting the `protoc` Plugins
 
 Binary releases of `protoc`, the Protocol Buffer Compiler, are available on
 [GitHub][protobuf-releases].
 
-To build the plugins, run `make plugins` in the main directory. This uses the
-Swift Package Manager to build both of the necessary plugins:
-`protoc-gen-swift`, which generates Protocol Buffer support code and
-`protoc-gen-grpc-swift`, which generates gRPC interface code.
+To build the plugins, run:
+- `swift build -c release --product protoc-gen-swift` to build the `protoc`
+  plugin which generates Protocol Buffer support code, and
+- `swift build -c release --product protoc-gen-grpc-swift` to build the `protoc` plugin
+  which generates gRPC interface code.
 
 To install these plugins, just copy the two executables (`protoc-gen-swift` and
-`protoc-gen-grpc-swift`) that show up in the main directory into a directory
+`protoc-gen-grpc-swift`) from the build directory (`.build/release`) into a directory
 that is part of your `PATH` environment variable. Alternatively the full path to
 the plugins can be specified when using `protoc`.
 
-#### Homebrew
+### Using the Swift Package Manager plugin
 
-The plugins are available from [homebrew](https://brew.sh) and can be installed with:
-```bash
-    $ brew install swift-protobuf grpc-swift
-```
+You can also use the Swift Package Manager build plugin to generate messages and
+gRPC code at build time rather than using `protoc` to generate them ahead of
+time. Using this method Swift Package Manager takes care of building
+`protoc-gen-swift` and `protoc-gen-grpc-swift` for you.
+
+One important distinction between using the Swift Package Manager build plugin
+and generating the code ahead of time is that the build plugin has an implicit
+dependency on `protoc`. It's therefore unsuitable for _libraries_ as they can't
+guarantee that end users will have `protoc` available at compile time.
+
+You can find more documentation about the Swift Package Manager build plugin in
+[Using the Swift Package Manager plugin][spm-plugin-grpc].

+Benchmarks for `grpc-swift` are in a separate Swift Package in the `Performance/Benchmarks` subfolder of this repository.
 They use the [`package-benchmark`](https://github.com/ordo-one/package-benchmark) plugin.
 Benchmarks depends on the [`jemalloc`](https://jemalloc.net) memory allocation library, which is used by `package-benchmark` to capture memory allocation statistics.
