Fix invalid package-ecosystem value.
Line 8 currently sets package-ecosystem to an empty string, which Dependabot treats as a validation error; the config won’t run until a real ecosystem (e.g. npm, pip, github-actions) is specified. Update this field to the correct ecosystem before merging.

.github/dependabot.yml around lines 8 to 9: package-ecosystem is set to an empty
string which is invalid; update package-ecosystem to the correct ecosystem for
this repo (e.g., npm, pip, composer, github-actions) so Dependabot can run,
ensuring the value is a supported lowercase identifier and that directory and
schedule fields remain valid.

Based on this project (which is partially a macOS app written in Swift, and partially a NextJS app hosted on Vercel), what is your recommended way to fix this issue?

@avikalpg Based on my analysis of your project structure, here's my recommendation for fixing the dependabot.yml configuration:
Your project has a NextJS web application (in the web/ directory) that uses npm for dependency management. The macOS app uses Xcode's built-in dependency management without Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods.
Here's the recommended dependabot.yml configuration:
# To get started with Dependabot version updates, you'll need to specify which
# package ecosystems to update and where the package manifests are located.
# Please see the documentation for all configuration options:
# https://docs.github.com/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file

The macOS Swift project doesn't need Dependabot configuration since it's not using external package managers like Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods.
🐰 Curious about the hybrid architecture - that's a neat setup with Swift + NextJS!

Perfect! The package.json confirms this is indeed a NextJS application with TypeScript. My previous recommendation stands, but let me provide the final, complete configuration:

This will keep your NextJS/TypeScript web application dependencies up-to-date automatically! 🚀
