Hi all,
I am in need of converting old swift 3 application to swift 5 - it is to be slightly updated & posted to Appstore. Following the guidelines, I have to install Xcode 10.1, migrate to swift 4, then I have to upgrade to more recent Xcode ver and repeat the same from swift 4 to swift 5. Given that Xcode 10.1 is not running on Big Sur, I have to either use virtual machine, or downgrade my OS to somewhat Sierra version (whatever it is exactly).
And here comes my issue - as soon as I am using M1 MacBook, I can't do both. There are no VMs supporting installation of older MacOS for M1 mac (at least, none I am aware of), and also M1 mac will not run any MacOS version but Big Sur.
What can I do from here? Are there any tools to migrate (apple or third-party, whatever)?
In the worst case, I'm fine with just trying to build my app as is from my swift 3 source code and trying to post it to Appstore, but again, recent Xcode does not allow me to do so. Would it be an option to set up ARM Linux/Windows VM and use some command line build tools? Or, do we have any MacOS command line tools to build swift 3 project?
Any help is really appreciated! Andrey
