Hi @ashah,
Welcome to the SonarSource community!
You should be able to scan all 3 language types in one project: build-wrapper for Objective-C, which runs the sonar-scanner (which can scan Swift) and SonarScanner for MSBuild for C#.
SonarScanner for MSBuild (now called SonarScanner for .NET) does not handle sonar-project.properties files. Regarding combination of Objective-C and C#, please read Solution with a Mix of C# and C++ (it says “C++” in the text but this is applicable to C/C++/Objective-C). Swift analysis can be performed by the SonarScanner for .NET.
For customizing your C# project with sonar-project analysis properties, you can add SonarQubeSetting nodes for each analysis property in the *.csproj file for your C# module:
<ItemGroup>
<SonarQubeSetting Include="sonar.exclusions">
<Value>NotAnalyzedFile.cs,Libraries/**/*.*</Value>
</SonarQubeSetting>
</ItemGroup>
and also utilizing the SonarQube.Analysis.xml file that is inside the SonarScanner for MSBuild directory for broader scope. Pay attention to the overriding capabilities as shown in that file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!--
This file defines properties which would be understood by the SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild, if not overridden (see below)
By default the SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe picks-up a file named SonarQube.Analysis.xml in the folder it
is located (if it exists). It is possible to use another properties file by using the /s:filePath.xml flag
The overriding strategy of property values is the following:
- A project-specific property defined in the MSBuild *.*proj file (corresponding to a SonarQube module) can override:
- A property defined in the command line (/d:propertyName=value) has which can override:
- A property defined in the SonarQube.Analysis.xml configuration file [this file] which can override:
- A property defined in the SonarQube User Interface at project level which can override:
- A property defined in the SonarQube User Interface at global level which can't override anything.
Note that the following properties cannot be set through an MSBuild project file or an SonarQube.Analysis.xml file:
sonar.projectName, sonar.projectKey, sonar.projectVersion, sonar.organization
The following flags need to be used to set their value: /n:[SonarQube Project Name] /k:[SonarQube Project Key] /v:[SonarQube Project Version] /o:[Sonar Project Organization]

<SonarQubeAnalysisProperties xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.sonarsource.com/msbuild/integration/2015/1">
<!--
<Property Name="sonar.host.url">http://localhost:9000</Property>
<Property Name="sonar.login"></Property>
<Property Name="sonar.password"></Property>
-->
<!-- Required only for versions of SonarQube prior to 5.2 -->
<!--
<Property Name="sonar.jdbc.url">jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://mySqlServer/sonar;instance=SQLEXPRESS;SelectMethod=Cursor</Property>
<Property Name="sonar.jdbc.username">sonar</Property>
<Property Name="sonar.jdbc.password">sonar</Property>
-->
</SonarQubeAnalysisProperties>
In summary, you have a complicated project and you might have to segregate Objective-C+Swift module from C# module if the Sonar analysis doesn’t work out cleanly (especially if you have to specify sonar-project.properties for Obj-C/Swift compared to the SonarQubeSetting nodes or the like for C#). This is OK, because with SonarQube 8.6, you can use SonarQube’s Application feature to synthetically combine the 2 projects, see our announcement here.
