iOS import swift class from swift using framework

Question

How do I import a Swift class from a framework?

1. I have Xcode Workspace
2. I create a Cocoa touch framework with using Swift
3. I create a Swift class named TestClass in that Cocoa touch framework
4. I create a Tabbed Base iOS application
5. I import my framework in that tabbed iOS application using import FrameWorkTest

The application project compiler can't find TestClass. How can I import TestClass for use in the main application?

It says that TestClass is not defined. I also want to add an extension in FrameWork an then use it.

I'm using this Tutorial http://www.swift-studies.com/blog/2014/6/30/creating-a-pure-swift-framework-for-both-ios-and-mac

I'm on Xcode version 6.0 seed

Thanks

To import a Swift class from a framework:

Go to your Project -> Build phases -> Select test target -> Link Binary With Libraries -> + Button -> Add other (on the dialog) -> Select your framework and congrats!

Here's one solution I found:

1. Create new iOS project
2. Press on project
3. Press + to add target
4. In the resulting window, choose cocoa touch framework
5. Press on project and press add dependency and add framework
6. Success!

I used the solution here: https://github.com/ArtemKyslicyn/-SwiftImportFrameworkTest in the project named AddingFrameWork

Answer 3

Make the class in framework public. Also any variables must be public if you want them to use outside the framework.

public class MyClass... {
 ...
}

@Artem Kislitsvn: I did see your github repository,

In which you have TestClass.Swift file outside the targets 'test' and 'FrameWorkTest'. Which is out of the scope of the namespaces.

In Swift the namespaces are specified per targets. In your case 'test' and 'FrameWorkTest' are two targets. If you keep your file out of the targets, then your class(.swift file will not visible to at any time).

The solution is very simple. You just move your TestClass.Swift file inside any of the target groups (Drag and drop through Project explorer).

Following this your project works...!
