Import Framework for Whole Project at One Place in Swift

Import Framework in Swift Project, Xcode

If I get you correctly you don't have a separate build target for your framework (you already built it with Xcode 5) and included the framework into your project's build target.

The part of the documentation you're referring to is about frameworks within different targets.
Since your framework is in the project's target this part of the documentation doesn't apply here.

In your case you can't do an import of the framework in your Swift file. That's why you get the error message "No such module myFramework".
myFramework is no module -- it is part of your project's module (which is by default determined by your product name). As such the classes in your framework should be accessible.

However your framework is written in Objective-C. So what you have to do is to import the Swift facing classes in your bridging-header as described here.

Please note that this has nothing to do with the Swift import of a module. The import directive in the bridging-header file just notifies the compiler to 'translate' Objective-C header files to Swift syntax and makes the public header visible to Swift.

So what should you do now?

• First import the header files you're interested in in the bridging-header. You only need to import the headers you will interact with in Swift.

• Try to compile your project in this stage. If Xcode can't find the header files of the framework your problem is probably not related to Swift or Xcode 6 but a problem with including frameworks in general.

• After that try to instantiate a class you imported in the bridging-header, maybe in your AppDelegate.swift. Xcode auto-completion should offer you the type names.

Hope this helps.

Create and import swift framework

I've done with the following steps.

1. Create a framework project, for example named "FooKit". (Cocoa Touch Framework to be selected)
2. Create a ".swift" file and add a public symbol, for example public func foo(), to it.
3. Create an use-side (app) project. (I've chosen Single View Application)
4. Open the root directory of "FooKit" by Finder, drag "FooKit.xcodeproj" there and drop it into the app project via Project Navigator.
5. Add "FooKit" to Target Dependencies in the app's Build Phases setting.
6. Add "FooKit.framework" to Embedded Binaries in the app's General setting.

Now you can build like this code in the use-side app.

import FooKit

func bar() {
    foo()
}

Xcode import local Swift Package and build from the app

The solution is to create a local Swift Package in the app project and to import the Shared Package there. Then it will be available in the whole project.

Import Objective-c framework into Swift framework project

You need to import the Beaconstac framework in your umbrella header. That is, if you'd ordinarily use, e.g., #import <Beaconstac/Beaconstac.h> in an Obj-C bridging header, for a framework you need to put that in the umbrella header.
