Leo Dion (Host): [00:00:00] Thank you for joining me for another episode of empower apps. I'm your host, Leo Dion joining us again is Antoine Vander Lee. Hey Antoine. Thanks for coming back. Yeah, glad to be back. So I've actually worked on projects that were written in Swift 1. And in the last year or two, have you, have you worked on any of those?
