Importing a library in to an Xcode 7 project

So I am trying to add a static library to my project in order to interface with a scanner. I have linked the binary in build phases to the libCaptuvoSDK.a, put the Captuvo.h header file in the project folder, and finally set the project to always search the user paths and added $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR) recursive to the user header search paths. After doing all this I am trying to use #import "Captuvo.h" in my ViewController.swift file and getting the 2 errors Expected identifier in import declaration, and Expected expression. I have tried different combinations of importing and none of them seem to make a difference so I am led to believe the issue is with my process of adding the library.

I am new to Xcode and have never used a third party library in an application before so I feel I may be making a simple mistake or just misinterpreting things. Any help is appreciated!

Okay so I managed to fix my issue! I had imported the static library properly but the real issue was the header file. I fixed my issue by creating a new file in my projects folder named Quick-Scan-Bridging-Header.h. Inside that file is where the #import "Captuvo.h" line belonged. Once that was done I opened the Quick Scan apps build settings and under Objective-C Bridging Header I added the path Quick Scan/Quick-Scan-Bridging-Header. I also added the Header Search Path $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)

After I did all this I am able to use the Captuvo classes in my ViewController.swift file.
