    iOS developer Review

    Date: Sep 07 2021

    Summary: We used this tool to convert our project from objective-c to swift. It was helpful, we saved a lot of time especially for those who are not familiar with swift. Every time we have to check your code once but it still more easy than writing the entire code.

    Positive: - Swiftify is a great tool. It is helpful to convert an object-c code to swift fast.
    - Swiftify is so easy to use.
    - This tool saves a lot time for developer.
    - It is well documented.
    - can be integrated with xcode and other IDE.

    Negative: - Not a free tool.
    - The free trial version is limited.

    Good

    Edited: Oct 26 2021

    Summary: It would be nice to be able to use this tool for free with more options, or have a little more room for daily conversions.

    Positive: It is really easy to use, and very straight forward. Plus the conversions are really good and it has a lot of helpful tips.

    Negative: - It's expensive
    - Almost no options on free trial

    Free version is too limited

    Date: Sep 13 2021

    Summary: Meh. There are better tools out there. I prefer SwiftRewriter which is open source and free which you can run in your Terminal.

    Positive: It does convert Swift, but honestly the free version is limited to a tiny amount of conversions. You can't even convert one whole class file.

    Negative: Too limited. Just use an open source tool such as SwiftRewriter.

    Swiftify Company Response
    Edited: Sep 17 2021
    I appreciate that you have mentioned SwiftRewriter, and I have taken a closer look at that tool. While the fact that SwiftRewriter is open source is a clear benefit, it looks like SwiftRewriter only translates the syntax, without mapping signatures of most known Objective-C methods (and other entities) to Swift. For example, for the sample from the SwiftRewriter's GitHub page: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshare.getcloudapp.com%2FE0ujOG1y Swiftify outputs the following: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fswiftify.me%2Ftepatf . In this sample, Swiftify translated the `NSLog()` method to `print()` function while SwiftRewriter did not. Also, SwiftRewriter does not seem to support the latest Xcode and Swift versions (Xcode 13 and Swift 5.5 at the moment of writing). I agree that using an open-source tool could also save some of your time. However, the time of iOS and macOS developers is so precious nowadays that you would probably use the best available tool for real-world projects.
