Swiftify	Score 9.0 out of 10	Small Businesses (1-50 employees)	When Apple rolled out Swift back in 2014, Objective-C was set to be replaced.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Android Studio is the only platform you should consider for Android development. I have found that nothing else comes close in terms of documentation or support. There is always the temptation to develop for Android using a cross platform toolkit, such as Xamarin, but unless your app is incredibly simple, you will find your self wrestling with the toolkit more than actually creating your product. If you have any Android projects still in Eclipse, you should upgrade these to Android Studio - the backwards compatibility for older versions of Android is very good, with issues only occurring with debugging on older (Lollipop or below) devices. The only scenario Android Studio is not suitable for is cross-platform development. There is no way to share code between iOS, macOS, or Windows projects with Android Studio, unless you are developing a game in C++. If you wish to develop cross platform mobile apps, I suggest Microsoft Visual Studio. Incentivized PC Peter Chapman Senior System Architect Read full review	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. Incentivized NN Nima Nassehi Software Engineer Read full review
Pros	It is very lightweight and resource management is done pretty well in this IDE. It boots up very fast as compared to other development IDEs. It is not a memory hungry IDE. Even novices can work with this IDE very easily. Incentivized KV Kunal Verma Software Engineer Intern Read full review	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. Pedro Soria Martínez Technical Support Read full review
Cons	Debugging is not that great, it can show some specific details for a better understanding of the issue. It is a RAM eater tool, its hard to do multitask along with the android studio. Sometimes after updating the android studio, we have to face so many random issues with the SDK or codes. Incentivized LS Lokesh Singh Jr. App Developer Read full review	It lacks general performance and availability It doesn't handle Objective-C macro well Overall conversion speed expected to be much better Yuriy Yarosh Applications Engineer Read full review
Usability	It has improved over the versions, and it continues to do so. I have no problems using Android Studio and I think that it's quite a user-friendly software. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	The support of the community is very good. You can find many solutions on sites like StackOverflow and Brazilian sites like GUJ, for example. Google documentation about Android Studio is very good too. I have some Android developer friends, so they have the knowledge to support me when I need it. Incentivized Marcelo Araujo Desenvolvedor de software Read full review	There are constant upgrades to improve the conversion. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I am primarily a Java developer so many of the IDEs I have used are specifically made for Java development. I have used IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and NetBeans for Java development but Android Studio is far better for Android development specifically and it also has support for things like Flutter development. VS Code is quickly becoming popular across languages but Android Studio is still at the top in my opinion. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
