Expose private headers in Objective-C to Swift in a static library

Using Swift

I need to mix Swift and Objective-C code inside a static library in iOS. I have created module.modulemap file and included the Private module there. I can also import the private module without any error message, but still the compiler throws an error when I try to reference the private class with Use of unresolved identifier 'PrivateClass'

UsePrivateClass.swift

import Foundation import StaticLib.Private class UsePrivateClass { func printPublicClass() { PublicClass().print() } func printPrivateClass() { PrivateClass().print() } }

module.modulemap

module StaticLib { export * explicit module Private { header "PrivateClass.h" } }

I have already set DEFINE_MODULES to YES and MODULEMAP_FILE to the module.modulemap file. Probably missing something related to copying the modulemap file to the right destination or PrivateClass.h header file, but not sure what step is missing.

Created a sample project here.

Did you ever solve this?

Nope, it’s the same issue, I gave it a try again and couldn’t figure out a way to get the private header visible to Swift
