Libraries don’t support bridging headers because the client of the library has to be able to import the header, and arbitrary bridging headers may conflict. (This is actually the primary purpose of modules for Objective-C: to declare a group of headers that are self-contained—besides what other modules they import—and can therefore be imported earlier or later without difficulty.) The compiler will mildly try to stop you from doing this if it can figure out you’re building a library, but it’s a bad idea no matter what. Even if everything appears to compile fine, it’s likely you’ll get inscrutable errors when trying te debug anything that uses your library.<br class=""><br class="">The particular difference between Xcode-created frameworks and SwiftPM-generated libraries is that Xcode frameworks are set up to be mixed-source, using the Objective-C public umbrella header in place of a bridging header.
