Should I be building new apps in Obj-C or Swift?

Hey guys,

Should i be adopting Swift for commercial apps? I'm not quite sure whether or not to go for Swift, or stick with what I know.

Cheers!

If you're looking at producing commercial apps, definitely start adopting swift.

There are a few reasons to my answer here, but one overarching. In this industry there are always going to be advancing technologies, and our job is to keep up with them.

We should be using these new technologies to give our users the best experience, being feature rich, and efficient. Most updates tackle both of those, while advancing the development process, giving you a better experience while creating as well.

I hope that answered your question, and gave you good reason into why I believe that.
