ABP vs. Swiftify

If you are building a simple web application and want to bypass all of the basic building blocks (authentication & authorization, multi-tenant, etc, etc.), then ABP Commercial will allow you to do this very quickly with their tooling. It is also an excellent tool if you are building a large complicated SAAS product, as long as you are willing to invest the time required to understand the 'why' behind their architectural decisions and follow their methods throughout your development.

For me as a picky person I never used the file convertor but for a small portion of code, it is good. With the classes that have more than one initializer, it got confusing and I had to dig to find the exact issue to fix.

• Put in your Objective-C code, select the version of Swift language to convert, click convert. That's all!
• Swiftify is now creating a platform to convert Objective C to #C, something that can help for different development projects platforms.
• Swiftify offers a few free converts to try to show you the power of it. Their price for a subscription plan is really good for big projects.

• Initial learning curve - There is a lot of training and help material available, but one of the hardest things to grasp (and also to explain) are all of the reasons why the 'ABP way' is better. Many times, it seems to be more complicated or more difficult than the 'simple' way of doing things. Over time, as you expand on functionality and add more and more layers of complexity, you realize WHY they build the software the way they do, and it goes from appearing complex to appearing elegant.
• Support - Some support techs are excellent, but others seem to be missing to just supply ANY answer to a question (which is often something along the lines of 'read the help').

• It lacks general performance and availability
• It doesn't handle Objective-C macro well
• Overall conversion speed expected to be much better

There are constant upgrades to improve the conversion.

Swiftify tries to convert the code even if the code can not be executed in a real situation. I chose Swiftify because most of the times you just need to convert one line, one method... That of course, it is using and used by other code that you didn't add in the conversion code, but you just need to convert that for now. In this situation, Swiftify converts the code, other ones such as iSwift will report an error in the code and will not convert it.
