The parser of Xcode project files (which is used by File & Project Conversion) has been completely reimplemented! (If you are curious, we are using XcodeAPI library from Unity 3D).

Here are some of the main highlights of this update:

Xcode projects and workspaces with multiple targets and a complex hierarchy of files are fully supported!
Only references to actually converted files are updated (while third-party dependencies like CocoaPods are left intact!)
Header (.h) files without a source (.m) file are automatically configured as buildable once converted to Swift.
A few Xcode project settings (including supported Swift, iOS or macOS versions) are automatically updated.

The new Advanced Project Converter macOS app (coming soon!) will allow for the gradual conversion of projects, automating the process as much as possible!
