Building a Swift framework with references to Objective-C code

Question

I\'m working on an iOS project written in Swift, and I would like to take some classes out of the regular \"app\" project, and bundle it into a reusable Swift framework inst

Answer 1

It wasn't that complicated, actually... I was just doing some things wrong.

First, bridging headers are not required in that setting: the Google Maps iOS SDK is provided as a regular .framework file, so the development language has no impact on how it can be imported in Swift. Apple clearly mentions it in the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/BuildingCocoaApps/MixandMatch.html, "Importing external frameworks".

It's as easy as adding the framework to the "Link binary with libraries" section of the project settings. Do not forget to also add depending libraries and frameworks (in GoogleMaps.framework's case, there are quite a few).

Then, in Swift code, the framework classes should be available simply by doing:

import GoogleMaps

No bridging header, no dealing with "non-modular header etc." errors.
