@import MyStaticLib;

syntax.

If so, how, exactly, do you do this.

Answer 2

If you can edit the library Xcode project you can create a *.modulemap file and set it to the MODULEMAP_FILE Build Setting.

Sample map file from CocoaLumberjack:

framework module CocoaLumberjack {
    umbrella header "CocoaLumberjack.h"

    export *
    module * { export * }
}

module CocoaLumberjack.DDContextFilterLogFormatter {
    header "DDContextFilterLogFormatter.h"
    export *
}

module CocoaLumberjack.DDDispatchQueueLogFormatter {
    header "DDDispatchQueueLogFormatter.h"
    export *
}

module CocoaLumberjack.DDMultiFormatter {
    header "DDMultiFormatter.h"
    export *
}

module CocoaLumberjack.DDASLLogCapture {
    header "DDASLLogCapture.h"
    export *
}

module CocoaLumberjack.DDAbstractDatabaseLogger {
    header "DDAbstractDatabaseLogger.h"
    export *
}

Answer 3

You can by creating a framework from this static library, you can follow all the instructions here

Once finished, you can import your static library like that:

@import MyStaticLib;
