Excellent tool with great functionalities for ObjC to Swift conversion

Swiftify is a useful programme for translating Objective-C code to Swift code. When we work on older projects, Swiftify comes in quite handy. Also, I was able to utilise this to quickly convert some older projects I was working on into Swift by using it instead of just reading the documentation on my own, which helped me save a tonne of time. Swiftify is an excellent service overall; it assisted me in better understanding Objective-C when I was learning mobile programming and while I was working on some real-world projects.
Pros
Your objective c code may be converted to swift using this tool extremely effectively. I appreciate how the staff is always improving and responding quickly to any problems that may arise. The Swiftify Plugin for Xcode is simple to use and beneficial. The tool is really easy to use, quick, and accurate for the most part. Ultimately, I just had to spend a few days reading through all the code and examining the changes after transferring millions of lines of code.
Cons
Some of the generated code has to be optimised since it is wasteful. One time when I migrated some code, I saw many compiler warnings, but they were simple to fix. I experienced a conversion failure where several lines of code were to blame and the entire section of code below those lines were not converted at all. Several items didn't move entirely, but I was able to rapidly repair them, so they could be solved now.

Pros
It's really very handy to use this comparing to other offline/online tools when i need help for converting my legacy obj c to swift
Cons
At times doing the whole project/class be little time taking
Response from Swiftify
I appreciate your feedback.
The Offline Converter should be able to process files faster than the Cloud version, especially on Apple Silicon MacBooks.
If you face any slowdowns with specific files, feel free to file a ticket at https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify/issues or write to me personally at [email protected]

It was good to try, it's a nice project to make it work but if you want to have quality Swift code you have to write it yourself (or hire a professional)
Pros
It gets the job done, it does convert Objective-C code to swift although you have to handle the result with a grain of salt
Cons
Converting Objective-c code to Swift is not a trivial task that can be automated (otherwise software engineers wouldn't have a job). It does convert the code to swift but I'd not use any code of that in production
Response from Swiftify
Thank you for your review and valuable input!
You are completely right - the task to convert Objective-C code to Swift is almost impossible to fully automate.
However, we have spent 5+ years on the development of this converter to save time by automating the routine part of the process.
This does not replace intellectual work required to further refactor the code to adhere to the Swift coding standards.
If you have any particular improvement suggestions, feel free to report them at https://github.com/Swiftify-Corp/Swiftify/issues
Alternatively, write back to me at alex(swiftify.com).

I love it and its my first choice to convert code. Easy to use and understand. one click operation.
Pros
easy copy paste options, option to select different swift versions. support for xcode as plugin and project conversion.
Cons
copy paste limit on website. no support for dark mode. should add support for other editors.
Response from Swiftify
I appreciate your feedback!
1) Indeed, the free version allows converting code blocks up to 2 KB. This should cover occasional usage like converting one method at a time, however.
If you need more, you may upload one or more zipped file(s) on the Converter -> Project page. The rates to pay for an individual conversion are pretty low, so that should be sufficient for occasional usage.
2) The macOS app fully supports Dark Mode.
We are featured in the Apple's list of Apps with Dark Mode support and on https://darkmodelist.com/.
Could you suggest where are you still lacking the Dark Mode support?
3) Which other editors (s) would you like supported?
We could consider your vote for our later development.

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.
Response from Swiftify
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.

Pros
It’s very easy to use. Just copy and paste objc code and press convert: the magic will happen. All API name converted correctly and only some adjustments to make it work.
Cons
Some c classes are not converted correctly. Should convert in some more swiftly way some code.
Response from Swiftify
I really appreciate your awesome feedback on the product.
Regarding mixed Objective-C + Swift apps, they are indeed supported in the Advanced Project Converter, which is the part of "Swiftify for Xcode" app in the Mac App Store.

As one who started to develop using swift it is amazing to have a tool that converts old solutions to code I can read and also use
Pros
The ease. No need to log in if you just have a few lines of code that needs to be converted. But live that it can also take full files.
Cons
Sometimes there is bugs when converting, but I as a user can usually convert anyway if I chop large code pieces to smaller chunks

Simply the best objective c to swift converter
Reviewed on 3/7/2019
Pros
Easy to setup and very simple to use on xcode.
Cons
Some of the objective c conversions do not correspond to the best option in the latest versiones of swift.
Response from Swiftify
I really appreciate your feedback.
Regarding your report that some conversions do not correspond to the best option in the latest versions of Swift.
While we are working hard on generating the best possible output, it will be probably never possible for the automated converter to produce an idiomatic Swift code, which still requires a human being ;)
Anyway, we are working hard improvements such as generating "guard let" statements whenever possible.
You may post any distinct suggestions for review here:

The overall experience was "Oh wow, didn't knew they had something like this out there". At first I was a bit skeptical because I had tried other converters that were not accurate enough for us. But after a couple of days of converting small swift functions, I was convinced it would be ideal for our project.
Pros
1) It is very easy to use.
2) Any jr. programmer can use it from day one
3) It converts anything that is Objective-C to Swift, in a very timely manner, without bottlenecks.
4) I like the fact that we can try it out under the free version and test before we decide to buy it. P.S: We ended up buying it for one of our projects that required we convert an Objective-C SDK to Swift.
5) It has an Xcode plugin.
Cons
Conversion sometimes is not 100% accurate, but it is accurate enough for our team. I honestly don't think there are any cons about the software. It was be used on the web, and on Xcode as a plugin, which honestly was perfect for our team.
Response from Swiftify
I really appreciate your awesome feedback on the product.
Could you please suggest what issue(s) did you have with the customer support?
We are always willing to improve our product and services, so I'd definitely appreciate if you elaborate regarding this.
Thanks in advance for your time!

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.

Time saver
Reviewed on 2/7/2019
Pros
Saves you alot of time. As someone who knows both Objective C , as well as Swift, this tool saves you a great amount of time when dealing with projects that are being converted from legacy code. The output tends to almost always be correct.
Cons
Can't say there are many cons. The only thing I can think of is that there is no way to convert multiple files at once.
Response from Swiftify
Just wanted to say "thanks" for your awesome review!
Regarding the conversion of multiple files, while Xcode does not support this (Apple have not made it possible for Xcode Extensions to access anything beyond the currently edited file), here are the options:
1) Zip multiple `.h` and `.m` files and convert at https://objectivec2swift.com/#/converter/project/
2) Use the Finder Extension (included in the "Swiftify for Xcode" app in the App Store) to select and convert multiple files in Finder;
3) Use the AppCode plugin to convert pairs of `.h` and `.m` files from within the IDE (which supports such functionality, unlike Xcode).
Don't hesitate to follow up with me if you have additional questions!

Overall I recommend this to everyone who wants to try their hands on iOS/ Mac development. Its a basic tool for all developers working for apple development.
Pros
The best part of this software is that its convert the code in fraction of seconds, sometimes the codes do face some error because swift keeps upgrading and so is this software.
The pros are as follow :
It makes switching of code easy.
Almost 98% of time it does convert the code well
Its available on both web as well as Xcode extension.
Cons
Cons :
Not all code are convertible , for eg : Alamofire is a pod developed by a third person and if you use this code in swift and try to convert into Obj C it will either show the same code or may not change. (Still it just happen only 2% of time and I am sure that its developer will get this solved soon)

I’m a new coder learning Swift and I’ve found that I learn much faster by converting some of my favorite open-source apps. Many are written in Obj-C so that’s obviously a lot of work, but great practice. The converter is like the answer page at the back of the math book. It helps me find the correct solutions when I’m learning.
Pros
Xcode integration and the ease of use fantastic. Also, the team at Swiftify is keep the updates coming to conversions keep getting better and more accurate.
Cons
Getting started with the API key was a bit confusing, but once you’re set with that it’s super easy. Considering this takes away a significant portion of the hassle of migrating to Swift, I can’t complain much.

iPhone app development positives are ease of conversion for new faster swift but I can’t convert even just one file out of 30 in an app so I can’t tell whether this really works or not. So I won’t buy it.

Looked good but because of the limits on what you can convert free, I decided not to buy full because I had no guarantee how whole package would work since I couldn’t test it more.
Cons
