On Swift:

Create Framework:-

1. Start Xcode -> Create a new Xcode Project -> iOS -> Framework & Library -> Cocoa Touch Framework -> Name the framework(ex. sampleCocoaFramework) -> Create.

2. Set Taget -> General -> Deployment info -> Deployment Target.

3. Add a public class: File -> New File -> iOS -> Swift File -> Name it (ex. openCocoaClass) -> Create.

4. Now add some code to the openCocoaClass.swift.

   import Foundation
   
   public class openCocoaClass {
   
       public init() {
   
       }
   
       public var samplePublicVariable = "samplePublicVariable @ openCocoaClass"
   
       public func samplePublicFunction()
       {
           print("samplePublicFunction @ openCocoaClass")
       }          
   

   }

5. Clean the project : Product -> Clean

6. Configure the scheme settings : Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme -> Run -> Build Configuration -> Release.

7. Build the framework : Product -> Build.

8. Export the framework : Products -> Select the framework -> Identity and type -> Full Path -> Released Framework.

Adding Framework to Project:-

1. Start a Xcode project and name it (ex. CocoaFrameworkTest).

2. Drag and drop the sampleCocoaFramework.framework to the CocoaFrameworkTest's project folder.

3. Target -> General -> Embed Binaries -> Add Other -> Select Framework -> Copy Items if needed -> Done.

Accessing Framework on ViewController:-

import UIKit
import sampleCocoaFramework


class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let frameworkObject =  openCocoaClass.init()
        frameworkObject.samplePublicFunction()
        print(frameworkObject.samplePublicVariable)


    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    }
}
