About Swiftify

Swiftify for Xcode automates the Swift project migration by managing the syntax replacement so that the developers can focus on the other aspects of the project migration. As the name implies, the service is accessible from within Xcode. You can access it from the Editor menu in Xcode. You can convert a code section to Swift, convert a file to Swift and paste copied Objective-C as Swift. You can also convert files directly from the Finder without firing up Xcode. Select one or multiple files and start the conversion from the context menu. Finally, the Advanced Project Converter app assists you in managing an entire project. It has a specialized user interface for browsing and selecting the files you want to convert. It adds processed files to the project automatical...

Extremely useful converter

PROS

The quality of the conversion. No other company managed to create such a useful migrator for Swift.

CONS

Maybe the pricing. And the fact that Apple did not immediately buy this and integrated into Xcode...

Reason for choosing Swiftify

It works. Produces code that 95% of the way ready. And the web interface is also nice and easy to use.

Reasons for switching to Swiftify

iSwift just did not do the job.

Too expensive for individual users.

I didn't get a good chance to use it, as the free trial only allowed conversion of very small files. The small files that were converted, had been converted fairly well. Again, if the pricing model was more fair for individuals I would have purchased a licence/subscription for myself. Consider offering an individual subscription/licence for this product. Paying per file is not a good model in 2020.

PROS

The software is probably the best objc to swift converter on the market by a long shot. However the pricing model is not very friendly for individual developers.

CONS

The sales model is not all that great. The monthly price for a subscription was extremely expensive/out of reach for individual developers. And their pay as you go model is not very scalable if you have lots of objective-c code to convert. I suggest that there should be an individual subscription/licence available for single users. Maybe $15-20 bucks a month. Or hell, even a one time licence purchase of $100-200 or so would be great.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your thorough feedback and suggestions! We are still figuring out the best pricing model for the service, so I value your suggestions here.

Code is unusable

This product did not save me anytime. I had to rewrite the code from scratch.

PROS

It has an interesting concept and I thought I was going to save time. However the software is an EPIC fail. It maybe good for academics who are converting a small 15 line app from ObjC to Swift.

CONS

The software produced tons of dead code. Functions that aren't reachable, the comments dont exist. It was very frustrating to use. I had to rewrite it from scratch.

Vendor Response

I appreciate your feedback. While it is nearly impossible to automate the conversion from Objective-C to Swift by 100%, our tool was still designed to save your time. We do realize that manual changes after the conversion are always required: https://support.swiftify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000110132 In some cases, even a small but unsupported Objective-C construct may ruin the entire converter output. You are advised to report such issues on our GitHub Issue Tracker at https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify See more on this here: https://support.swiftify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021028092 I am sorry that the tool was not helpful to you at all, but still feel free to send me a sample that does not produce good enough results so that we could review and improve our product.

Regular occasional user

I am generally transforming single functions or classes from a legacy project or code snippets from Stack Overflow into current Swift.

PROS

Transforming this Obj-C code to Swift is both educational and time saving. I will either use the converted code pretty much as is, or use it to lean how to do something before starting new code.

CONS

1. The resulting translation is sometimes very Objective-C like and not the best Swift-first implementation. That's to be expected. 2. The free conversion via the website is very restrictive in terms of character count. This can normally be overcome by breaking a function into fragments and converting them one at a time.

Review Objc2Swift

PROS

As it's an easy to use software there's not much to be said except that the convert function is really simple really great to use, it "just works" it's almost as if magic, I just have to C/P my code and we're good to go

CONS

The limit is really low, I think that's the biggest downside, it takes time to convert a big code because I have to past it chunk by chunk, increasing the limit even by some ko would be perfect
