Swift Bridging Header import issue

People also ask

How do I import a bridging header in Swift?

Alternatively, you can create a bridging header yourself by choosing File > New > File > [operating system] > Source > Header File. Edit the bridging header to expose your Objective-C code to your Swift code: In your Objective-C bridging header, import every Objective-C header you want to expose to Swift.

How do I manually create a bridging header in Swift?

To create an Objective-C bridging header file, all you need to do is drag some Objective-C code into your Swift project – Xcode should prompt you with the message "Would you like to configure an Objective-C bridging header?" Click "Creating Bridging Header" and you'll see a file called YourProjectName-Bridging-Header.

How do you remove a bridging header?

Go to Build Settings of your project, find Objective-C Bridging Header row and remove its contents. This works, and in case anyone ends up with a lot of new errors with NSObject after removing this, check to make sure that you have 'import foundation' in your classes that inherit from NSObject.

What is Bridge header in Swift?

Its correct to say, Bridging header allows user to use Objective-C classes/files in their swift code in same project. A Swift bridging header allows you to communicate with your old Objective-C classes from your Swift classes. You will need one if you plan to keep portions of your codebase in Objective-C.


Be careful to add the file to the folder that your error is complaining! I've made the same mistake, if you create the file from Xcode, it will go to the folder: Project->Project->Header.h

And Xcode is looking for Project->Header.h

That means you need to put the file inside your project folder (ProjectName->ProjectNameFolder)!

Hope that helps ;)

UPDATED: I'm not sure if I got what you mean, but try this to solve your problem:
1. Delete all your bridging files that you created until now.
2. Select the main folder of project and hit new file->iOS->Header file.
3. Write your imports in the header file created.
4. Select the project inside Xcode->Build Settings, type in search field: bridging and put in the key SWIFT_OBJC_BRIDGING_HEADER the name of your header file or the path to it!

If you follow this steps, your header file will be created at the correct location!

:D Hope that helps!


In my case this was actually an error as a result of a circular reference. I had a class imported in the bridging header, and that class' header file was importing the swift header (<MODULE_NAME>-Swift.h). I was doing this because in the Obj-C header file I needed to use a class that was declared in Swift, the solution was to simply use the @class declarative.

So basically the error said "Failed to import bridging header", the error above it said <MODULE_NAME>-Swift.h file not found, above that was an error pointing at a specific Obj-C Header file (namely a View Controller).

Inspecting this file I noticed that it had the -Swift.h declared inside the header. Moving this import to the implementation resolved the issue. So I needed to use an object, lets call it MyObject defined in Swift, so I simply changed the header to say

@class MyObject;

Find the path at:

Build Settings/Swift Compiler-Code Generation/Objective-C Bridging Header

and delete that file. Then you should be ok.


This will probably only affect a small percentage of people, but in my case my project was using CocoaPods and one of those pods had a sub spec with its own CocoaPods. The solution was to use full angle imports to reference any files in the sub-pods.

#import <HexColors/HexColor.h>

Rather than

#import "HexColor.h"

For me deleting the derived data fixed it , I noticed even if I check out from an old commit, the same issue happens.

You can reach that option form Window-> Projects .
