This article is to log the few notes on the struggles we faced with having all these above things mixed up altogether with both Swift & Objective-C mixed up. Static Library(SL): Static Libraries was the initial(Way too Older now) way of code distribution where any project integrating the library would include .a file(Which contains the implementation classes) and all the header '.h' files separately along with the .a file in order for them to work in conjunction.
