Visual Studio can develop for iOS now (yes, you read that right), and Swift is a more pleasant alternative to Objective C.<p>This is probably more of a, &quot;I&#x27;d rather use Visual Studio with my Swift project&quot; instead of &quot;I&#x27;d rather use Swift with my Visual Studio project.&quot;  It&#x27;s a very nice IDE, and Xcode is not quite as nice.
