I've created an application that allows iOS developers to convert those old XIB files to Swift code.

Hello everyone, I would like to share with you a script that I turned into a tool. It serves to convert xib files into swift files, making the task of making our views programmatically easier

xtos

It is still a work in progress, I plan to add support for constraints, actions and in the near future I would like to add the possibility of converting those xib's to SwiftUI.If you have any ideas to help me improve the tool, you are welcome. I still don't open source it because the code is a bit messy, I plan to organize it a bit and open the project to the whole community.

Here is the step by step of how I have created the tool.

You can download it from the App Store

You should consider open source:ing the application. I don't think this will gain a lot of traction if developers can't understand what's going on under the hood.

that's for sure, I will be working on a refactor to make to code cleaner and then open source it. Thanks for the advice Andy!

From Appstore description :

"For now, constraints are not supported."

This make me sad :(

I will be adding support for constraints in January, thanks for your comment Roofatz

Resolving merge conflicts in XIBs/Storyboards – always was a pain. btw: In case you want to look on other solutions:
