Support iOS 8 - Swift
ios, ios8, swift
Solution
No. The APIs available from Swift are exactly the same as the APIs available from Objective-C; you can code against any iOS 8 APIs from either language.
To start writing in Swift, there's an option called Migration. It will convert your existing code into swift code
Migration provides an opportunity to revisit an existing Objective-C app and improve its architecture, logic, and performance by replacing pieces of it in Swift. For a straightforward, incremental migration of an app, you’ll be using the tools learned earlier—mix and match plus interoperability. Mix-and-match functionality makes it easy to choose which features and functionality to implement in Swift, and which to leave in Objective-C.
Problem
Do I need to learn and convert my entire codebase to the new Swift language if I want to support ios 8?
