Hi @aimore - thanks for you report.
In this case, this is not an OS related issue.
In order to build BTfS you need to install:

• Xcode 10.2.1 which you can get here
• Xamarin.iOS 12.0.0.15 (or you can change MAX_XI_VERSION in Make.config)
• Xamarin.Mac 5.0.0

Those appear to be results of you attempting to build the binding tools for swift?

If you want to work on this project I would suggest reading the quickstart

and posting any questions on

https://gitter.im/xamarin/xamarin-macios

Issues aren't the best way to contact the team on problems building.

Hi @stephen-hawley,
I have changed already the make.config file, installed the older version of Xcode and changed the path.
Here you can find the edited Make.config file

@chamons I did read the quick start and still does not help or solve the issue I am facing
I have asked in the gitter channel not only once but many times about the progress on the Xamarin official Swift support, the reply only came after I posted this issue.
The General Roadmap #165 posted here as an issue lacks clarity about the progress of this tool.

Issues aren't the best way of asking questions of this type. I'm sorry we didn't respond to you on gitter.

Right now, the major item listed on the roadmap being worked on is" Support for Protocols with Associated Types".

The tool currently requires knowledge of command line tools to run. One of the times on the roadmap - "Project and MSBuild support to make it easier to use" should improve this, but until then you'll need to get your hands dirty.
