Apache Cordova vs. Swiftify

If you want to teach your team or students how to program and learn programming languages, you would not want to utilize Phone Gap software. The Phone Gap software creates an easy fix to avoid learning every programming language for mobile devices. This creates a learning curve for some programmers because they no longer need to learn every language to be successful. However, for personal growth, this could pose an issue if programmers need to change jobs and are only capable of programming in web languages and then translate them using Phone Gap. Adobe Phone Gap works wonderfully for what our company uses it for. We use it because we have app launch deadlines and our programmers are invested in the company; therefore, they are aware that output is our goal, not actually learning the various languages, but more making sure the client is happy

For me as a picky person I never used the file convertor but for a small portion of code, it is good. With the classes that have more than one initializer, it got confusing and I had to dig to find the exact issue to fix.

• Business Application like payment collection, application for salesperson etc.
• Used for developing the mobile application that needs to be developed faster with the same User Experience on both iOS and Android.

• Put in your Objective-C code, select the version of Swift language to convert, click convert. That's all!
• Swiftify is now creating a platform to convert Objective C to #C, something that can help for different development projects platforms.
• Swiftify offers a few free converts to try to show you the power of it. Their price for a subscription plan is really good for big projects.

• Sometimes it's hard to configure VS Code applications with another IDE like WebStrom etc.
• Emulators are slow performing.
• Sometimes there are version conflicts with the newer codebase.

• It lacks general performance and availability
• It doesn't handle Objective-C macro well
• Overall conversion speed expected to be much better

There are constant upgrades to improve the conversion.

We selected Cordova since it provides ease of doing business and ease of use. The best thing about Cordova is that you can code once and run it on multiple platforms. Cordova provides add-ons that connect your code with native features of various mobile platforms. And you do not need to learn anything new since you can use your javascript skills

Swiftify tries to convert the code even if the code can not be executed in a real situation. I chose Swiftify because most of the times you just need to convert one line, one method... That of course, it is using and used by other code that you didn't add in the conversion code, but you just need to convert that for now. In this situation, Swiftify converts the code, other ones such as iSwift will report an error in the code and will not convert it.

• Development timeline for making Cordova apps targeting multiple platform is lower than developing individual native apps for each platform.
• Its easy to learn and set up. Coming from a native app development background, the learning curve for me was fairly small to get started with my hybrid app.

• good ROI, saves a lot of time.
