Check if the files are empty on your old Mac. If they are empty on your old Mac then the data has been lost, there is nothing you can do.
If the files are correct on your old Mac then something went wrong when you transferred the data. Therefore just try copying them over again.
If the first situation that I stated is true then there is nothing you can do.
Can you not retrieve the original files from your other Mac?
copy and paste
Would imply that you can. Maybe you should attempt to copy the files again, alternatively, if you just need the one .swift file you could probably copy the text from it and put it into plaintext and then copy that back out into a new xcode project if xcode is having such trouble opening that particular file.
Are you sure that you're not missing out some details? Seems almost too easy to answer this one.
