Description

Since Facebook SDK 7.0.0, their iOS SDK requires the project to contain at least one ".swift" file. Otherwise the build fails due to missing Swift standard libraries. And although Titanium already enables Swift for module compatibility, it does not seem to be enough so far. The same issue is happening for other app frameworks like React Native and they workaround it by adding it to the Xcode project (which is not generated their but stable, an option Titanium has not). Importance of the Facebook SDK 7+ upgrade: They fixed an issue with random server errors crashing the whole app that uses it, therefore it's a critical update developers should perform.

    PR - https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/11873 An alternative would be to generate a Swift file and add it to the pbxproj manually, but starting to move ObjC classes to Swift seems a better way. Test Case (On click of button it should log macaddress) - 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: '#fff'
   });
   
   var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({
       title: 'Trigger'
   });
   
   btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
       Ti.API.info(Ti.Platform.macaddress);
   });
   
   win.add(btn);
   win.open();

    This may caused a regression on incremental builds: TIMOB-28130
