iOS Older version of xcode

[rich1812]

Hello, I have xCode 10.1 on my Mac. I downloaded an older xcode project, which was written in Swift 2, it won't open in xcode 10.1. So I downloaded xcode 8.3.xip to try to convert it to Swift 3. But the xcode 8.3 won't open. Does xcode 8.3 co-exist with xcode 10.1? Does xcode 8.3 run on Majove at all? What can I do? Thanks.

Does 10.1 refuse to open it completely or it just gives errors? If you can set the swift version to 4.2 and let it build it will show errors but it should help you upgrade them to the current swift version.

Otherwise you could make a new project and copy over the source files and storyboards and fix the errors. If the project isn't too big there shouldn't be that much code to update.

Hi,

The precise words Xcode 10.1 gave me are:
Unsupported Swift Version
The targets “Adafruit Bluefruit LE Connect” and “Adafruit Bluefruit LE Connect WatchKit Extension” contains source code developed with Swift 2.x. This version of Xcode does not support building or migrating Swift 2.x targets.

I am afraid I don't know Swift 3 well enough to create a new project. I am still learning.

I guess that's this, which says it's deprecated

Did you look at this, it's more up to date

Thank you very much. I didn't realize this version exist!
