swift - 'scanHexInt32' was deprecated in iOS 13.0

Question

What is alternate of scanHexInt32 in iOS 13 (Swift 5+)?

extension UIColor {


    //--------------------------------------------
    class func hexColor(hex:String) -> UIColor {
        var cString:String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()

        if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
            cString = String(cString[cString.index(cString.startIndex, offsetBy: 1)...])
        }

        if (cString.count != 6) {
            return UIColor.gray
        }

        var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0

// warning in this line - 'scanHexInt32' was deprecated in iOS 13.0
        Scanner(string: cString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

        return UIColor(
            red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
            green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
            blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
            alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
        )
    }
}

Answer 1

Update to use UInt64 and scanHexInt64:

convenience init(hex: String, alpha: CGFloat = 1.0) {
    var hexFormatted: String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()

    if hexFormatted.hasPrefix("#") {
        hexFormatted = String(hexFormatted.dropFirst())
    }

    assert(hexFormatted.count == 6, "Invalid hex code used.")

    var rgbValue: UInt64 = 0
    Scanner(string: hexFormatted).scanHexInt64(&rgbValue)

    self.init(red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
              green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
              blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
              alpha: alpha)
}
