An Xcode Source Code Extension that automatically generates Swift initializers from selected property lines.
Swift Initializer Generator is an Xcode Source Code Extension that automatically generates Swift initializer methods based on selected property lines. It solves the problem of manually writing boilerplate initializer code when changing property access levels or creating new structs/classes, saving developers time and reducing errors.
Swift developers working in Xcode, particularly those building iOS, macOS, or other Apple platform applications who frequently create or modify structs and classes with custom initializers.
Developers choose this extension because it eliminates repetitive manual coding, ensures correct initializer syntax, and integrates seamlessly into their Xcode workflow without requiring external tools or complex setup.

Generates complete init methods automatically by selecting property lines, eliminating the need to manually write repetitive code for structs and classes, as shown in the demo.
Correctly parses and includes properties with public, private, internal, fileprivate, or open modifiers, ensuring initializers respect Swift's access control rules.
Handles properties declared with the weak keyword appropriately in generated initializers, helping prevent memory leaks in Swift code.
Works as a native Xcode Source Code Extension, allowing developers to trigger generation directly from the Editor menu without leaving their workflow.
Requires multiple manual steps like target signing, archiving, and system extension changes, which can be error-prone and time-consuming compared to simpler plugin installations.
Only supports properties defined in a specific regex pattern, missing those with default values, computed properties, or unconventional syntax, as admitted in the known limitations.
Cannot generate initializers with additional validation, side effects, or custom parameter handling, restricting its use to basic property assignment scenarios.
