I need to make swift static library for my requirement. I made swift static library which uses swift and Obj-c code. I have included Obj-c files via bridge file. I am able to compile swift static library without any error and get libMySwift.a file. I use Xcode9.3 with Swift4 to compile library.

I include libMySwift.a in obj-c project and also included obj-c compatible header to access my lib in the project. When I try to compile the project it give below warning and more than 200 errors.

Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftSwiftOnoneSupport
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftCore
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftQuartzCore
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftCoreImage
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftCoreGraphics
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftObjectiveC
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftDispatch

Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftFoundation
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftUIKit
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftDarwin
Auto-Linking library not found for -lswiftCoreFoundation

Please let me know if I am missing any steps or need to add anything.

I've got the same error on my demo project when added first Swift file in my pod compiled as static library. For me solution was simple - just added empty Swift file to my demo project which was previously in Objective-C only. This solved all linker errors.
