Importing Project-Swift.h into a Objective-C class...file not found
I have a project that was started in Objective-C, and I am trying to import some Swift code into the same class files that I have previously written Objective-C in.
I have consulted the Apple docs on using Swift and Objective-C in the same project, as well as SO question like this, but still no avail: I continue to get the file not found error after putting in #import "NewTestApp-Swift.h"
(NewTestApp
is the name of the Product and module).
Here is what I have done so far:
- In
Define Modules
, selectedYES
for the app. - Ensured that the Product Module name did not have any space in it (see screenshot below question)
I have tried using #import "NewTestApp-Swift.h"
inside ViewController.m
, ViewController.h
and AppDelegate.m
but none of them has worked.
What else am I doing incorrectly? Thanks for your help.

Errors that I am presently encountering:
I was running into the same issue and couldn't get my project to import swift into obj-c classes. Using Xcode 6, (should work for Xcode 6+) and was able to do it in this way....
- Any class that you need to access in the .h file needs to be a forward declaration like this
@class MySwiftClass;
- In the .m file ONLY, if the code is in the same project (module) then you need to import it with
#import "ProductModuleName-Swift.h"
Link to the apple documentation about it
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/imported_c_and_objective-c_apis/importing_swift_into_objective-c
If the Swift code is inside a Module (like in your case):
#import <ProductName/ProductModuleName-Swift.h>
If the Swift code is inside the project (mixed Swift and ObjC):
#import <ProductModuleName-Swift.h>
In your case, you have to add this line in the *.m file:
#import <NewTestApp/NewTestApp-Swift.h>
IMPORTANT: look at the "<" in the import statement
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/BuildingCocoaApps/MixandMatch.html
How I managed to import swift into objective-c:
- Defines Module set to YES (on project - not on target)
- Product Module Name set (on target - not on project)
-
In your ViewController.m import the swift code with:
#import "MyProductModuleName-Swift.h"
- Add a swift file to your objective-c project (File -> New -> Swift) and Xcode will create the bridging header from objective-c to Swift but this is crucial for making it work the other way around too - apparently.
For the last piece in this puzzle thanks to Swiftoverload for making me aware of actually adding a Swift file via Xcode GUI and not just dragging and dropping existing swift-files into my project for making it work: http://nikolakirev.com/blog/using-swift-in-objective-c-project
Using Xcode 8.2.1 and if you look at Project > Build Settings > Objective-C Generated Interface Header Name, there it shows only one header file named like Product-Swift.h
This means that instead of importing each modules separately from Objective-C .m file, using individual -Swift.h file, you just import one Product-Swift.h which aggregated all Swift modules.
I encountered the same problem by looking for traditional way of importing modules separately, but the current version of Xcode and Swift 3 changed it to use only one header for all module importing.
