I suspect you'll need an Objective-C interface -- there's no way to call Swift directly.

For Objective-C there's nothing much too it. Write your framework, then load it using a "load framework" statement.

The only potential gotcha is that you need to be careful with enums and constants. Best to add a Run Script build phase to add a suitable .bridgesupport file, like this:

mkdir -p $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.framework/Resources/BridgeSupport/
cd $TARGET_BUILD_DIR
gen_bridge_metadata --64-bit -f $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.framework/ -o $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME.framework/Resources/BridgeSupport/$PRODUCT_NAME.bridgesupport
