Although I have followed and tried everything from This Thread and read all of Apple's Guide of Swift-ObjC interoperability, I'm unable to recognize or use Swift fies in my project.
I have created a Swift file that declares/defines a class called TorusView that inherits from UIView. I've tried to gain access to this class in another class MenuView by importing the bridging header, importing the Swift class, importing the class with the syntax *-swift.h (which seems to now be *.swift.hin Xcode7.2). I've made all of the modifications to my target build settings recommended in that lengthy Stack question and a variety of others from google searches.
Nothing I've tried has allowed me to create a TorusView objective in my objective-C class.
You need to import a header file YourAppName-Swift.h, it contains all the public (and internal if same target) declared types in Swift.
first: Build Settings --> defines module --> YES.
second:Product Module Name -->YOUR project NAME.
last：improt "YOUR project NAME-Swift.h" in your Object-c file
like this:

My project is in Swift and I integrated a third party library for a feature which was all hard coded in Objective-C. Now I want to access my swift files from the Objectiv-C code for smooth navigation and data accessibility.
I tried everything mentioned [here], and a file like -Swift.h is generated under Objective C generated header name.
But no file is created under Derive Data folder.
I can't share the code as it is not allowed on my part, but when I import the file as #import "-Swift.h", it shows "No file Found".
I added forward declaration too. But of no use. Please help with this.

Note: I know How to call Objective-C code from Swift, but I don't know below,
I want to use this EsptouchForIOS's Demo in my project. The demo is write in OC, it has a storyboard and controller. I want to know how to integrate the demo in my swift project, and use that storyboard and it's controller in my swift project.
I'll start writing from the very beginning. Suppose you have a project in Objective-C and now you want to continue your project's development in Swift. Follow the below guidelines: (This intends to your specific needs)
First choose to add a new file from File->New->File. In this process select your language as Swift. In the final step here, you will be prompted to Create Bridging Header. Select that:
Now build your project once (⌘+B). You may get an error like this:
Change your target's minimum deployment to the version that Swift supports. (Example in the below screenshot)
To use Objective-C resources in Swift files:
Now that you've got one ProjectName-Bridging-Header.h file in your project. If you want to use any Objective-C class in your Swift files, you just include the header file of that class in this bridging header file. Like in this project, you have ESP_NetUtil and ESPViewController class and their header files too. You want to expose them to Swift and use them later in Swift code. So import them in this bridging header file:
Build once again. Now you can go to your Swift file. And use the Objective-C classes as like you use any resource in swift. See:
N.B: You must expose all the class headers (that you're intending to use later in Swift) in that bridging header file
To use Swift resources in Objective-C files:
Now you may wonder, I've successfully used Objective-C resources in Swift. What about the opposite? Yes! You can do the opposite too. Find your Target->Build Settings->Swift Compiler - General->Objective-C Generated Interface Header Name. This is the header file you will be using inside your Objective-C classes for any Swift to Objective-C interoperability. To know more check here.
Now inside any of your Objective-C class, import that interface header and use Swift resources in Objective-C code:
You will get more understanding from the official apple documentation.
You can checkout the worked out version of your linked project here with Objective-C-Swift interoperability.
So according to your question, you have added an objective C bridge in your swift project using How to call Objective-C code from Swift.
Now, import all headers (.h) files of your objective-c source code (demo project) that you want to direct use in swift file.
For example, your demo project has EsptouchForIOS following header (file with extension .h) files in project source code.
ESPAppDelegate.h, ESPDataCode.h, ESPTouchDelegate.h
import a header file in your bridge, which you want to use in your swift code. Suppose in your swift code you want touch delegate ESPTouchDelegate then write,
#import "ESPTouchDelegate.h"
Here is snapshot of your demo integration in my Test Swift project with bridge
and import statements.
Now, there is function/method in an objective C file getValue
which is used/accessed in swift project/file.
Similarly, you can import as many files (source headers) as you want in bridge and use the same files (source code) in swift.
I have never tried to use objective-c from swift project. But I normally used swift classes from my objective-c project. I usually follow this instructions https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/BuildingCocoaApps/MixandMatch.html from apple developer website.
I have an objective-c class that uses swift classes. It all works fine.
I wanted to import the objective-c class into a swift class, so I added its header file to the bridging header. All the sudden I got an error the Projectname_swift.h file is not found.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Is it actually possible?
a circular reference has been created, making it so the Swift code is unable to compile (which leads to the canary error stating that the _Swift.h file is not found).
i have provided a more in depth answer to a similar questions here and here.
long story short, the documentation explicitly says not to this:
To avoid cyclical references, don’t import Swift code into an Objective-C header (.h) file. Instead, you can forward declare a Swift class or protocol to reference it in an Objective-C interface.
Forward declarations of Swift classes and protocols can only be used as types for method and property declarations.
in order to make your code compile again you will need to remove the #import "Projectname_Swift.h" line from the offending Objective-C header. ideally you can simply move the import statement into your .m file, however if you need to publicly expose the Swift class in your ObjC header, then you must forward declare it using #class SomeSwiftClass;.
Let the Xcode build the bridge file from Objective-C to Swift.
Create a temporary directory elsewhere. In there, you create a dummy Xcode Swift project, give the project name the same as your existing Current Project Name.
Then add new file, Objective-C (.m file). The XCode will prompt you to create a bridge header file, click on the create bridge file (the right most button).
Now you locate the header file location in Finder. Then drag into your Current Project of Interest, don't forget to checked the copy file if necessary option. Add necessary #import '.....' in the header file.
You should be good. If everything works fine, delete the dummy project.
Clean derived data. and then #import "ProjectName-Swift.h" in your objective c files.
Go to
Build Settings->Objective-C Generated Interface Header Name
and set the value to YourModule-Swift.h (this is usually already set, this is the filename you need to import on .m file #import "YourModule-Swift.h"
Go to Build Settings and search for "Defines Module", set both values to YES
Create a class in swift with prefix of #objc for example
#objc class mySwiftClass{...}
Build the project again
it will be better if you use error syntax or screen shot. you can simply try this
1. Goto your project on top of right navigation
2. select build settings from middle pain.
3. search for Objective-C bridging header
4. just below this you will find "Generated interface HeaderName"
5. add correct address of your swift file
6. clean and build the project.
I've tried following the tutorial at https://vimeo.com/107295686, and failed very early.
Basically, I've:
created project
created Podfile which requires BDBOAuth1Manager and AFNetworking
installed cocoapods, closed XCode, and reopened it in my MyProject.xcworkspace directory.
Created and deleted a dummy Objective-C file, because I needed bridging header
Added #include directive to this header, which asks for BDBOAuth[...].h
Created Cocoa Touch class which extends BDBOAuth1RequestOperationManager
This is my code:
import UIKit
class RESTClient: BDBOAuth1RequestOperationManager {
}
And now I can't instantiate my new Cocoa Touch class.
When I try to call constructor, this is the hint I get
Note that method description says "Initializes an instance of the class that implements the video compositing protocol", which has nothing to do with my OAuth intentions. When I switch back to my class, and command-click the class I've tried to extend, I get the correct file with correct init params.
Any help will be appreciated
When I was trying to do this exact thing (same library), I had to change the import statements in BDBOAuth1Manager to use
#import <AFNetworking/xxx.h>.
My project wouldn't build without it. Have you checked the header search paths?
I have a custom Framework that has a bunch of Objective-C Classes. Within the Framework, I'd like to add more classes using Swift. However, when trying to expose the Swift classes to the Objective-C code using: MyProduct-Swift.h, it comes up as "MyProduct-Swift.h file not found".
I've tried this in a single view template and it works fine. Is it not possible to import Swift within a framework?
I've also verified that I have set the Defines Module setting and the Module Name. I've tried it with and without these settings.
I found some additional steps to make it all work. In addition to setting 'Define Module' to YES and 'Product Module Name' (usually these are set correct by default if you create new touch Framework in Xcode 6) you also need:
add 'public' keyword to all Swift classes you need in Objective C
you need to add 'public' keyword even to all the methods and properties within the class that you want to access from Objective C
You need to import Swift header in a 'long' way like this:
#import <ProjectName/ModuleName-Swift.h>
Ok, I found what the problem is.
Make sure that in Build Settings - > Packaging you have Define Module set to YES and Product Module Name is set as well. Then in the storyboard file the name for the Module should be the same and match what you have in your Build Settings. Then in your Obj-C file write include "-Swift.h"
That did the trick for me.
