[swift-users] .apinotesc file placement?

[Jonathan Prescott]

As a general question since I’m just getting into Swift frameworks, could the framework architecture not be right?  When I build a non-Swift(C/C++/Obj-C/Obj-C++/other language/etc) based framework using Xcode to build the framework, the Info.plist goes into a Resources folder/directory and the module map goes into a Modules folder/directory.  I seem to recall reading somewhere that the .apinotes file for swift should go into the same directory as the module map.

If the listing in the e-mail represents the framework file architecture, and there doesn’t seem to be a Modules directory nor a Resources directory, could this be why swift is failing on the “import” directive?  How important is the directory architecture for Xcode frameworks to “work"?

Just asking.

They know nothing of Swift, and their header is cross-platform, so they don't have any of the proper naming conventions or macros included. I don't really know how to write a robust and complete module map or apinotes file.
