FINALCAD adopts Swift for its iOS app

Paris, France – June 2015

After the new programming language Swift was introduced by Apple at WWDC 2014, the iOS development team at FINALCAD embraced Swift for its performance, versatility and compatibility with legacy Objective-C.

Since 2011, FINALCAD has been on a mission to digitally transform the construction industry. From its inception, FINALCAD has trusted iOS to empower this transformation, through iPad and iPhone devices used on the field.

“FINALCAD end-users will immediately benefit from Swift through a more robust app and a more reactive UI” said Antoine Favreau, CTO, FINALCAD. “Moreover, the versatility of Swift will allow us to deliver new features and behaviours in a fraction of the time it used to take.”

FINALCAD is now available for pro projects on the App Store on iPhone and iPad.
