Swift 5 Migration Assistance
Migrating code in Swift can be tedious, but there is a tool that could help us make the migration as seamless as possible. Xcode 11 has a built in Migration Assistant tool, that can be used to migrate old code to the current Swift syntax. The tool was launched for a new project that has been opened for the first time, or you can also manually launch this tool.
