How do I see which version of Swift I'm using?
What I do is say in the Terminal:
$ xcrun swift -version
Output for Xcode 6.3.2 is:
Apple Swift version 1.2 (swiftlang-602.0.53.1 clang-602.0.53)
Of course that assumes that your xcrun
is pointing at your copy of Xcode correctly. If, like me, you're juggling several versions of Xcode, that can be a worry! To make sure that it is, say
$ xcrun --find swift
and look at the path to Xcode that it shows you. For example:
/Applications/Xcode.app/...
If that's your Xcode, then the output from -version
is accurate. If you need to repoint xcrun
, use the Command Line Tools pop-up menu in Xcode's Locations preference pane.
Project build settings have a block 'Swift Compiler - Languages', which stores information about Swift Language Version in key-value format. It will show you all available (supported) Swift Language Version for your Xcode and active version also by a tick mark.
Project ► (Select Your Project Target) ► Build Settings ► (Type 'swift_version' in the Search bar) Swift Compiler Language ► Swift Language Version ► Click on Language list to open it (and there will be a tick mark on any one of list-item, that will be current swift version).
Look at this snapshot, for easy understanding:
With help of following code, programmatically you can find Swift version supported by your project.
#if swift(>=5.3)
print("Hello, Swift 5.3")
#elseif swift(>=5.2)
print("Hello, Swift 5.2")
#elseif swift(>=5.1)
print("Hello, Swift 5.1")
#elseif swift(>=5.0)
print("Hello, Swift 5.0")
#elseif swift(>=4.2)
print("Hello, Swift 4.2")
#elseif swift(>=4.1)
print("Hello, Swift 4.1")
#elseif swift(>=4.0)
print("Hello, Swift 4.0")
#elseif swift(>=3.2)
print("Hello, Swift 3.2")
#elseif swift(>=3.0)
print("Hello, Swift 3.0")
#elseif swift(>=2.2)
print("Hello, Swift 2.2")
#elseif swift(>=2.1)
print("Hello, Swift 2.1")
#elseif swift(>=2.0)
print("Hello, Swift 2.0")
#elseif swift(>=1.2)
print("Hello, Swift 1.2")
#elseif swift(>=1.1)
print("Hello, Swift 1.1")
#elseif swift(>=1.0)
print("Hello, Swift 1.0")
#endif
Here is result using Playground (with Xcode 11.x)
Open the Terminal and write:
swift -version
