Swift Framework instead of Objective-C

Hello, 

Is it planned to replace the Objective C framework into a pure Swift framework? It would be handy for the Future ;-) 

• If so, until when ? 
• If no, why? 

Thanks

  Hi Raffael,

  In the coming sprints, we will add guides that will target both Objective-C and Swift.

  From a Swift application, you can import our SDK as from an objective-C application.

  It is very easy and in Xcode, all the completion already works as for Objective-c code.

  Moving our framework to Swift is an other journey :-)

  Hope the answers will help you,

  Regards,

  Olivier

  Hello Oliver, 
  My app is written with a mix. Rainbow Framework with Objective C and my app Code is in Swift. This is really fully compatible. This is known to me.

  But there are still some (detours / not so nice implementations) when you mix Objective C with Swift code. Because Swift supports language features which are not available in Objective C. That's why I think it would make sense to change the framework to Swift in the Future.

  I am aware that this is a longer process, the question here is more in which period this is planned ? I hope its planned ;-) 

  Regards Raffael

  Hi Raffael,

  At this time, this is not planned at short and mid term (not in 2019). After that it could be part of the plan

  Regards,

  Olivier
