Compiling Swift framework with mixed-in Objective-C code

readme.md

Problem

You can't use bridging headers within a framework.

Solution 1 (umbrella header):

Xcode will automatically create umbrella header for you Cocoa Framework project. That will be the file named <FrameworkName>.h in the <FrameworkName> group/folder (where the rest of your sources are).

1. To include the required Obj-C header you need to set it as Public: select it in the project explorer (left pane) and change the property Target Membership (left—Inspectors—pane) from Project to Public.

2. Open umbrella header (<FrameworkName>.h) and import the required header as:

   #import <FrameworkName/objc-header.h>

This effectively makes this header public and available to both your own framework and anyone who uses it.

Note: If you import the header as a local file, i.e. in quotes, e.g. #import "objc-header.h", you likely to hit the compiler error telling you are trying to include a non-modular header.

Solution 2 (module map):

1. Create a file named module.modulemap in the root of your project with the following contents:

   framework module FrameworkName {
       umbrella header "FrameworkName.h"
   
       header "objc-header.h"
   
       export *
       module * { export * }
   }

   In case you want to keep the definitions from objc-header.h private from the users of your framework you can add private qualifier like so:

       // ...
       private header "objc-header.h"
       // ...

2. In Build Setting set Module Map File to module.modulemap

3. Clean the build directory (⇧⌘K) and build the project (⌘B)

---

Note: There are options in the Build Settings of the project to specify the Module Map File and Module Private File, but I couldn't manage to make them work—the compiler was spitting something like: Redifinition of <FrameworkName> module.

I followed the second solution , but it is not working if i don't convert the classes to public, so the users of my framework can still access the files. any suggestion plz.
