AppCode starts 2017.2.2 EAP: access modifiers support and the first part of Swift 4!

Stanislav Dombrovsky

Hi everyone,

Today we are starting AppCode 2017.2.2 EAP with a heap of improvements on board!

Access modifiers

Now AppCode correctly checks access modifiers (such as private, public, open, etc.) when resolving Swift symbols. From the user perspective it means the following:

• Inaccessible entities do not appear in the completion list or Override/Implement pop-up anymore.
• Such entities in the code are now highlighted in red and more – you can even change the visibility to the proper one using the corresponding intention:
  

Swift 4

This build brings the first part of the Swift 4 support:

• SE-0169 (Improve Interaction Between private Declarations and Extensions)
• SE-0148 (Generic Subscripts)
• SE-0168 (Multiline String Literals) and SE-0182 (String Newline Escaping):

Besides, the following important issues were fixed:

• Objective-C classes imported via .pch are not resolved in Swift code (OC-14804)
• Support for AnyObject and AnyClass (OC-14828)
• Opening a project in AppCode causes lastKnownFileType to change for some UTF-8 files (OC-15901)

For the full list of fixes please see the release notes.
