Swiftify Overview

What is Swiftify?

Apple rolled out Swift in 2014 to replace Objective-C. There are still plenty of apps and projects that use Objective-C, and developers are faced with the prospect of either starting again from scratch or attempting to convert them to Swift. Swiftify for Xcode automates the conversion process, handling the task of replacing the syntax while letting you focus on the other aspects of project migration. As the name suggests, the service can be accessed directly from Xcode's Editor menu. You can convert a code selection or a whole file. You can also paste Objective-C as Swift. It's also possible to convert files directly from Finder without booting up Xcode. Select the files and start the conversion from the context menu. Finally, the Advanced Project Converter app included in Swiftify for Xcode is designed to help you manage an entire project. It lets you explore the project in a dedicated UI and select files to be converted. Processed files are automatically added to the project.

I was lot of experience with objective c but no idea about swift,When I start the learning but i can not handle it. It too much hard for me then I was getting Swiftify from Google Search then trying to Objective c Code and to Swift Code and it's too much easy for me.Easily understand swift code from convert objective c.Today I am happy because i am expert in swift and I was promote as Sr.IOS Developer. I really say thank you to Swiftify. if this one platform not developed then many Developer failed in life.

👍🏻Thank You so so much Swiftify.😍 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Swiftify?

How easy it is to migrate a file within XCode and from Finder as well. The tool is so simple and fast and accurate for the most part. Overall, after migrating 70000+ lines of code, I had to spend only 6-7 days going through all the code and reviewing the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swiftify?

Some resulting code is inefficient and needs some optimization (as expected). I've had one issue where a chunk of code had multiple compiler warnings after migrating but they were easily resolved. XCode is really helpful when it comes to detecting those errors and automatically suggesting fixes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Swiftify:

Go over some of the most common chunks of code (util methods/classes) and optimize those as there might be a few performance bottlenecks in the migrated code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swiftify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Minor problems here and there with compilation errors (easily fixed) but definitely worth it. The amount of time saved by having Swiftify migrate the majority of the code is heaven-sent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Swiftify?

I didn't get a chance to study or work with objective-c even though sometimes I come across some open source code, librairies or tutorials using it. Swiftify helped me to convert code in those cases which saved me a lot of time.

The Xcode plugin makes things even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swiftify?

Lately is became mandatory to create an account in order to convert code. This added some friction when using the service, especially for new users if you want to give the tool a quick try before signing-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Swiftify:

Bear in mind converted code might not always be perfect but, the main goal is to understand the logic behind an objective-c file/piece of code. You shouldn't use this tool to only convert and copy/paste code to your IDE without any understanding of what it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swiftify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall Swiftify is a great service, it helped me understand better objective-c when I was still studying mobile development and when I started working on some real-life projects as a junior Swift developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Petuschak of Swiftify
(Original )

Thanks for your thorough feedback!

We had to make the registration mandatory to keep the service responsive. Some users became overusing our service which leads to increased load and even downtimes, and unfortunately, we have no means to prevent that without being able to track down every single conversion to a specific user.

I would still like to ensure that the service is very easy to use, to any feedback on this matter is welcome!

What do you like best about Swiftify?

From my experience this is currently the best product in the category. Swiftify is a great time-saving tool to reliably convert Objective-C. The converter has evolved over time with more support for Objective-C constructs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swiftify?

Sometime You convert code objective c to swift And you forget curly brackets so, your code converting wrong way.And swiftify only objective c code convert only latest version of swift not be option old version of swift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swiftify solving and how is that benefiting you?

swiftify is a good softwer for code converting objective c to swift.sometime we work old projects and this time swiftify is very usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Swiftify?

I had a few small libraries and code samples written in objective C and needed a way to port them to Swift as a new swift developer to help me learn some of the idiosyncrasies of the language and this tool was perfect for it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swiftify?

There were some things that didn't migrate completely but I was able to solve those quickly and they may have been fixed now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swiftify solving and how is that benefiting you?

To start it was finding solutions to iOS things I was solving off stackoverflow where the solution was in Obj-C and I was able to convert them to Swift easily with this tool. I was also able to use this to convert some older projects I was working on into Swift a lot faster than simply reading the docs on my own and it saved me a ton of time in doing so.

What do you like best about Swiftify?

I like the conversion feature the best. The elements involved in the software that allow a novice or professional to convert Objective-C to Swift with a "copy and paste" are very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swiftify?

I dislike the subscription tiers for the amount of code that can be converted at a given time. I find myself waiting out specific time periods between conversions when limited, or simply using other tools that are available to continue progressing while working on a project or performing a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Swiftify:

Nix(eliminate) the subscription model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swiftify solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am learning more about the Objective-C language and what was changed before moving to Swift. I have realized the benefits of having a tool like Swiftify at my disposal, as well as essential others to aid in project completion, and knowledge transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Petuschak of Swiftify
(Original )

Thanks for your thorough review and feedback!

Regarding the subscription model, I do realize that it is far from being ideal.

We have recently launched the Pay As You Go plan that allows paying for each individual conversion.

To make use of it, just sign in and visit the Converter -> Files / Project page:

https://objectivec2swift.com/#/converter/project/

where you can upload a project and get a quote to convert it.

If you have any other suggestions regarding pricing, don't hesitate to reach me at alex@swiftify.com.

What do you like best about Swiftify?

Sometimes a full rewrite is impossible, whether for budget, timing or other reasons.

Swiftify makes incrementally updating codebases, file by file much less painful and time consuming. It's possible to integrate this methodology into a workflow, so upgrading is performed alongside bug fixing and feature development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swiftify?

It would be nice to be able to get the remaining 10%, though 90% conversion is vastly better than a completely manual workflow. Pricing is not clear from the website copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Swiftify:

If you need a tool to quickly convert Objective C code to Swift 4/5, look into Swiftify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swiftify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Upgrading Objective C code to Swift en mass. The fact that there is an XCode extension could be explained more prominently and clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Petuschak of Swiftify
(Original )

Thank you for your thorough feedback!

We are going to roll out a way better-designed Pricing page soon.

While the automating the whole 100% of the conversion is nearly impossible, feel free to upload your project under Pricing -> We Convert It For You page to get an estimate for a professional migration to Swift:

I do really appreciate your feedback and review.

Since you have given a 3-star review, I wonder if you still see anything that we could do better. The "What do you dislike?" part in your comment seems to get truncated, so I'd be glad if you could elaborate on that at alex(at)swiftify.com.
