Schrodinger's Cat Rescue: Mirroring Objective-C to Swift

This talk was part of the iOS Developers Global Summit 22 (Pro Track). The goal: show practical ways to keep Objective-C and Swift living side by side by leaning on the Runtime API.

Watch the talk

Session focus

• Why Obj-C compatibility still matters for mature codebases.
• Using the runtime to mirror behaviors between languages (selectors, method swizzling, and safe message forwarding).
• Tips for re-signing and instrumenting apps without destabilizing production builds.
• Patterns for wrapping legacy Obj-C APIs so they feel native in Swift.
