Xcode6-Beta5 Swift Tutorial Updates

Tutorials updated for Xcode6-beta5!

Good news – we’ve updated all of our Swift tutorials and other posts to Xcode6-beta5!

Here’s what’s we updated:

• Beginning Swift tutorial series updated
• Swift Cheat Sheet and Quick Reference updated (v 1.5)
• Swift Language FAQ updated
• Swift Language Hightlights updated
• Swift Style Guide updated
• Candy Crush tutorial series updated
• Swift Ninja programming challenge updated
• Swift video tutorial series updated

The rest of the Swift tutorials have been confirmed to work on Xcode6-beta5 with no changes required.

What Changed?

For the most part, updating everything was pretty straightforward – mostly related to the following changes:

• No longer being able to use optionals in boolean statements (i.e. must compare to nil explicitly)
• No longer being able to use += to append an item to an array
• Sometimes having to put override in front of initializers, or required initializers
• Casting to NSString rather than using bridgeToObjectiveC()
• Some type/protocol name changes

For a nice roundup of Xcode6-beta5 changes, check out the release notes and this handy post.

Where To Go From Here?

We’ll do our best to continue to keep things up-to-date until things finally settle down with the GM release.

It’s definitely been a challenge dealing with all these changes – especially with our upcoming books. :]

We’re just doing our best to try to keep everything up-to-date and functional for you guys, we hope it helps!

If you notice any issues we missed, please let us know so we can keep everything functional. Thanks!
