Obfuscating objective-c project with Swift frameworks

[punto2018]

Hi,
I've an objective-c project that use several pods. Some of that pods are written in swift.

I've understood that swift code is not supported, so I've tried to include swift pods as compiled .frameworks (so NO swift code, but compiled binaries), but I obtain the same error "PPiOS-Rename cannot process apps containing Swift code".

As you know objective-c is dying, and any modern project use dependencies
which will increasingly be in swift.

Any idea how to bypass the restriction? Maybe an exclude feature, or a bridge header, or something?

Thanks for your precious support.

Swift binaries themselves are different from those of Objective-C. The check and error message you encountered were added to help preempt issues always encountered with Swift binaries. The error message could be clearer, but "containing Swift code" was meant to include the compiled form as well.

PPiOS-Rename always works by scanning the compiled binary for symbols, so unfortunately compiling the Swift pods as .frameworks won't work around the issue.

Unfortunately, PPiOS-Rename will become less relevant as projects adopt Swift.

I am getting the same error "Error: PPiOS-Rename cannot process apps containing Swift code"
My project is a mix of objective c and swift code. How to make sure to obfuscate only objective c code?

I have the same problem. I work with React-Native and there are libraries for Swift. Are there options to avoiding these libraries?

Hi,
My project contains both Objective-C & Swift code and also uses some pods (some written in Swift, some in Objective-C). I'm getting the same error: "Error: PPiOS-Rename cannot process apps containing Swift code".

Is it possible to obfuscate only Objective-C part of the code? I've heard that 'PPiOS-rename' supporting Swift code obfuscation would be released in 3rd or 4th quarter this year. Is this info correct?

Thank you.

I'm working on a project that has Objective-C and Swift code. You can comment out the line in 'PPiOS-rename' that is causing this error so that 'PPiOS-rename' will work. Of course, you may encounter various issues, for example, if you have a protocol in Objective-C and its implementation in Swift...

@krystiankolodziej @neuralmer can't we exclude the Swift framework by passing -x or -F? in our obfuscation cmd?
