[swift-users] Migrating to Swift 3 using Xcode fails

[Saagar Jha]

I am aware that there were new proposals, and I’ve been following along and manually migrating. The errors are due to Xcode using the Swift 2.3 compiler, which doesn’t like the new Swift 3 syntax (for example, it’s complaining that it can’t find the new types that have the NS- prefix dropped). I’m just looking for the flag in build settings that switches the compilers.

The real reason is that in Xcode 6 beta6, a lot of Swift 3.0 accepted proposals were implemented and released, which made the Swift 3.0 far more different from the previous 3.0.

However, after downloading the GM seed, hundreds of errors pop up in my code, since it appears that Xcode has somehow reverted the compiler back to 2.3. Manually migrating using Edit>Convert>To Current Swift Syntax… always fails, due to the fact that the code had been previously migrated. Is there any way to “manually” migrate the code (i.e. change the compiler settings?)
