Unless it’s a very tiny app that will be a massive undertaking.
You would need to fully understand the app both in architecture and intent. Then convert that logic not just to swift but to the relevant frameworks in iOS sdk. UIKit, AvKit, MapKit etc. and some things will be impossible to do the same way so you need to find functionally equivalent ways.

If the app is pretty simple, I’d suggest:
- rewriting in SwiftUI
- rewriting in web technologies and use something like CapacitorJS
