About

SpriteKit is Apple's 2D game development framework that provides a graphics rendering and animation infrastructure for animating textured images, or sprites. It leverages Metal to achieve high-performance rendering and integrates seamlessly with other Apple frameworks like ARKit and SceneKit, allowing for the creation of immersive augmented reality experiences. Developers can utilize SpriteKit's scene editor within Xcode to design and preview game levels, characters, and animations, streamlining the development process. The framework also supports physics simulations, particle systems, and various special effects, enabling the creation of dynamic and interactive game environments. With its intuitive API and robust toolset, SpriteKit simplifies the development of engaging 2D games and applications across Apple's platforms.

About

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 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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very Good conversion from ObjC to Swift. Has multiple options on how your code want to be converted like public, private ... etc. Xcode integration. Full app conversion.
  • It is really easy to use, and very straight forward. Plus the conversions are really good and it has a lot of helpful tips.
  • It helped me convert the objective c code to swift in fraction of sections. Very useful and works for bunch of objective c files.
  • It is easy to use and easy access for everyone. I am very happy when i use it as it easily converts the code.
  • If you need to convert a lot of OBJC classes, this tool can be very handy to help rewriting all c sources in the swift way.

Cons

  • High Price. Free option has multiple restrictions.
  • - It's expensive - Almost no options on free trial
  • I don't see any cons for this great product.
  • it is some how costly please reduce more price for users.
  • Not able to test a large project yet. But I think the results should be good as on small pieces.
