## Description

Write Swift code directly on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch! This app supports the latest Swift syntax and it is ideal for learning and testing code snippets!

Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language developed by Apple Inc. for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, Linux, and z/OS. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products. It is built with the open source LLVM compiler framework.

Features:
- Compile and run your program
- View program output or detailed error 
- Custom keyboard for easy input of frequently used characters
- Optimized for connecting with external physical/bluetooth keyboard
- Advanced source code editor with syntax highlighting, bracket completion and line numbers
- Open, save, import and share Swift files. Supports File Sharing with iTunes Connect, AIrDrop and iCloud.
- Language reference

Limitations:
- Internet connection is required for compilation
- Maximum program running time is 20s
- One file can be run at a time
- Some file system, network and graphics functions may be limited
- This is a batch compiler; interactive programs are not supported. For example, if your program provides an input prompt, enter the input in the Input tab prior to compilation.

## Review summary

Users praise Sedona as a beginner-friendly Swift editor with an on-device manual, iPad compatibility, and helpful syntax hints plus a unique INPUT feature. However, recurring issues limit its appeal: file import/access problems and inbox workflows; stability crashes and lost code; editing limitations (no select/copy-paste) and poor UX; persistent ads even after purchase; and missing advanced features like graphics/UIkit support and broader Swift libraries.

### Pros

- Beginner-friendly Swift editor with basic syntax references and learning support
- Runs on iPad and includes a built-in manual
- Unique INPUT feature for runtime input within code
- Helpful error messages that aid learning (e.g., on optionals)
- Active development with ongoing updates and feature improvements

### Cons

- Difficult to import or access external projects; limited file management and iCloud access issues
- Frequent crashes and instability (including fatal errors like swift: not found) with potential loss of code
- Editing UX is limiting and buggy (no copy/paste, no text selection, hard navigation)
- Intrusive ads, including ad-free purchase not consistently removing them
- Missing advanced features for Swift development (graphics/UIkit support, random number utilities, and broader library support)
