Should one wait for Swift 3? The API/syntax changes are a concern. Code breaking changes aren't that great. Also last time I checked Swift still requires a 64bi

Should one wait for Swift 3? The API/syntax changes are a concern. Code breaking changes aren't that great. Also last time I checked Swift still requires a 64bit iOS device.
- jakobegger 11y agoNot sure where you got that 64bit thing from. I wrote an app using Swift and it runs fine on my 32bit iPhone 5.
- JimDabell 11y agoGenerally speaking, Xcode can usually automatically migrate your code, and the places where it can't are pretty easily done manually. Swift doesn't require 64-bit iOS, and never has as far as I recall.
- pivo 11y agoApple provides code migration support in Xcode, so when they break things it's mostly a mechanical and sometimes automatic update. I migrated our 50K lines of Swift code from Swift 1.2 to 2.x in a few hours.
