When X-code tries to create a bridging header automatically, it crashes every single time, so I followed the instructions on how to manually create a bridging header. (Creat

Answer 1

You need to add it to your target's build settings:

1. In Xcode, if you go into the build settings for your target, and scroll all the way down you'll find a "Swift Compiler - Code Generation" section.

2. Set "Objective-C Bridging Header" to <#PROJECT_NAME>-Bridging-Header.h

3. I'm not sure of the correct value for "Install Objective-C Compatibility Header", but it's a yes/no, so you can toggle that if it doesn't work at first.

Answer 2

it could help setting the name of the bridging header with its Project root, as "MyProject/MyProject-Bridging-Header.h" into the string value of the Swift Compiler Build key 'Objective-C Bridging Header'

Answer 3

I tried to create a bridging header myself but for some reason Xcode didn't like it. So i deleted my custom one, imported an Obj C file which made Xcode ask if I wanted it to create one for me.

I clicked yes, and it worked!

1. Add a header file to your project with the name "[your-project-name]-Bridging-Header.h

2. Go to Build Settings > Build Options and set "Embedded Content Contains Swift Code" to "Yes"

3. Go to Build Settings > Linking and add "@executable_path/Frameworks" to Runpath Search Paths

Build your project now!

Answer 5

1) create a file called "FMDB-Bridging-Header.h"

inside this file type the following: #import "FMDB.h"

3) go to Build Settings -> Swift Compiler - Code Generation - add to 'Objective-C Bridging Header': FMDB-Bridging-Header.h

or if it was placed inside a folder in your project:

FolderName/FMDB-Bridging-Header.h
