             Summary: Proposal: feature to merge Swift bridging headers
                 Key: CB-10071
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10071
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CordovaLib
            Reporter: Shazron Abdullah


In cordova-ios-4.x we have a Bridging-Header.h file for Cordova classes, so 
this will enable Swift plugins.

However, this is not adequate for Swift plugins that have to use third-party 
Objective-C libraries for their plugin itself. The plugins need to add the 
bridging headers to the app's Bridging-Header.h file (by appending to the file 
we already have).

Firstly, we should never modify the app's Bridging-Header file, it should 
remain static (modifying this will be problematic for every `cordova prepare` 
cycle, for multiple plugins). 

We should have a feature to merge multiple bridging header files together, and 
point the SWIFT_OBJC_BRIDGING_HEADER value in build.xcconfig to it.

An example of a Cordova plugin that has this problem: 
https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc

This could be an optional attribute in the `<header-file>` tag in plugin.xml:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/plugin_ref/spec.html

I propose something like-this:
{code}
<header-file src="Foo.h" type="SwiftObjcBridgingHeader" />
{code}
