Make flutter project swift compatible AFTER creation

Question

When i created my flutter project I didn't make it swift compatible because we didn't think we would need it, but now, after months of development and a couple releases on android, I've been asked to run/test the app on ios devices.

Is there a way to enable swift support at this point without having to create a new project from scratch and copy/paste the code there? There are a couple packages that require it in order to be run on ios.

Solution

Delete the ios directory and run in the project directory

flutter create -i swift .

Previous manual changes need to be re-applied.

Thank you, this worked, now i have to set up all the swift configurations in order for the packages that needed this to run properly.

"Previous manual changes need to be re-applied" is the crux of the problem. Is there no way to do it without having to re-apply manual changes?

If you use git it shouldn't be too hard. You can check the diff after the `flutter create command and then decide case by case if you want the change in your new code. If you are unsure you can try with or without applying a change and keep what works. I'm not aware of an easier way.

Thank you. For some dummy as myself :D, I skipped the "." in the end, which was a huge mistake.
