XCFit 6  and Xcode 9

With all these shiny new features, I couldn’t wait to try out the new thingy so first of all I downloaded macOS High Sierra and Xcode 9. Although, I waited long to get downloaded .xip  file installed and feel first look of Xcode 9, however wait was worth considering awesomeness of Xcode 9.

I wrote little library ‘XCFit‘  to perform BDD inside Xcode. Basically XCFit provides Xcode Templates to setup BDD targets as well it’s Swift framework which gives pre-defined steps.  I was keen to check if Apple break my Xcode templates or framework with new release of Xcode 9. Fortunately, noting is broken as result of Xcode 9 and Swift 4.

XCFit Xcode Templates Still Works

It was great news that XCFit Xcode templated can be installed by using xcfit RubyGem. We can install xcfit and setup Xcode templates using the commands

The Xcode templates for XCFit still works in Xcode 9.

XCFit Swift Framework is compatible with Swift 4

XCFit 6.0.0 has been released with support for Swift 4. XCFit 6 is now available on Cocoapods, Carthage and Swift Package Manager.

XCFit works perfect with new project created in Xcode 9 with all the pre-defined steps accessible.

Conclusion

Now, XCFit can be used with Swift 3.2 as well as Swift 4 without any issue. Anyway Xcode 9 is awesome.
