Can't use Swift classes inside Objective-C
I try to integrate Swift
code in my app.My app is written in Objective-C
and I added a Swift
class. I've done everything described here. But my problem is that Xcode
haven't created the -Swift.h
file, only the bridging headers. So I created it, but it's actually empty.
I can use all my ObjC classes in Swift, but I can't do it vice versa. I marked my swift class with @objc
but it didn't help. What can I do now?
EDIT: Apple says:" When you import Swift code into Objective-C, you rely on an Xcode-generated
header file to expose those files to Objective-C. [...] The name of this header is your product module name followed by adding “-Swift.h”. "
Now when I want to import that File, it gives an error:
//MainMenu.m
#import "myProjectModule-Swift.h" //Error: 'myProjectModule-Swift.h' file not found
@implementation MainMenu
Here is my FBManager.swift file:
@objc class FBManager: NSObject {
var descr = "FBManager class"
init() {
super.init()
}
func desc(){
println(descr)
}
func getSharedGameState() -> GameState{
return GameState.sharedGameState() //OK! GameState is written in Objective-C and no error here
}
}
I spent about 4 hours trying to enable Swift
in my Xcode
Objective-C based project. My myproject-Swift.h
file was created successfully, but my Xcode
didn't see my Swift-classes
. So, I decided to create a new Xcode
Objc-based project and finally, I found the right answer! Hope this post will help someone :-)
Step by step Swift integration for Xcode Objc-based project:
- Create new
*.swift
file (in Xcode) or add it by using Finder. - Create an
Objective-C bridging header
when Xcode asks you about that. -
Implement your Swift class:
import Foundation // use @objc or @objcMembers annotation if necessary class Foo { //.. }
-
Open Build Settings and check these parameters:
-
Defines Module :
YES
Copy & Paste parameter name in a search bar
-
Product Module Name :
myproject
Make sure that your Product Module Name doesn't contain any special characters
-
Install Objective-C Compatibility Header :
YES
Once you've added
*.swift
file to the project this property will appear in Build Settings -
Objective-C Generated Interface Header :
myproject-Swift.h
This header is auto-generated by Xcode
-
Objective-C Bridging Header :
$(SRCROOT)/myproject-Bridging-Header.h
-
Defines Module :
-
Import Swift interface header in your *.m file.
#import "myproject-Swift.h"
Don't pay attention to errors and warnings.
- Clean and rebuild your Xcode project.
- Profit!
Don't create the header file yourself. Delete the one you created.
Make sure your Swift classes are tagged with @objc
or inherit from a class that derives (directly or indirectly) from NSObject
.
Xcode won't generate the file if you have any compiler errors in your project - make sure your project builds cleanly.
