When you cast the spell and as a Bonus Action until it ends, you can make two attacks with a weapon that fires Arrows or Bolts, such as a Longbow or a Light Crossbow. The spell magically creates the ammunition needed for each attack. Each Arrow or Bolt created by the spell deals damage like a nonmagical piece of ammunition of its kind and disintegrates immediately after it hits or misses.

Player's Handbook (2014)

You transmute your quiver so it produces an endless supply of nonmagical ammunition, which seems to leap into your hand when you reach for it.

On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action to make two attacks with a weapon that uses ammunition from the quiver. Each time you make such a ranged attack, your quiver magically replaces the piece of ammunition you used with a similar piece of nonmagical ammunition. Any pieces of ammunition created by this spell disintegrate when the spell ends. If the quiver leaves your possession, the spell ends.

Swift Quiver 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences

Range changed from Touch to Self. The spell now lets you make the two attacks when you cast it, not just on later turns with a bonus action. It no longer keys off a quiver you hold; it works with arrows or bolts for a weapon like a longbow or light crossbow, and the created ammo disappears after each attack instead of at the spell’s end.
