ifdef for specific Xcode versions?

I'm currently converting some of my code to compile in Xcode 9 and stumbled over some different behaviour which forces me to use some code only in Xcode 9 and some only in Xcode 8. Is there some kind of ifdef so I can redirect code based on the Xcode version used?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

  • There are no conditional compilation preprocessor macros for Xcode versioning. Currently, this is the best you can do: 

    #if swift(>=3.2)
    // Xcode 9 
#else
    // Xcode 8
#endif

    Since Swift 3.2 is available only via Xcode 9 or higher, this should serve your practical needs.
