MWPhotoBrowser import errors with Swift

Question

Ive been building an app with swift to use MWPhotoBrowser library on github, but i have lots of errors in Xcode and this is what i did exactly:

1- Created a swift project.

2- Link binary with libraries

2.1- UIKit,Foundation,AssetsLibrary,MediaPlayer,QuartzCore,CoreGrahpics,ImageIO.

3- I've imported the following libraries manually :

3.1- SDWebImage,MWPhotoBrowser,MBProgressHUD,DACircularProgress.

That should be enough for the prerequisites of MWPhotoBrowser to work. Without yet adding the bridging header i am having 27 errors.

If you already added all the frameworks needed then you only need to basically add

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#import <CoreGraphics/CoreGraphics.h>
#import <AssetsLibrary/AssetsLibrary.h>
#import <ImageIO/ImageIO.h>
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

to all the .h files in your MWPhotoBrowser folder

As for the other frameworks, if you imported them manually then you need to change the

#import <DACircularProgressView/DACircularProgressView.h>

to

#import "DACircularProgressView.h"

in the m files they are called, do this for MBProgressHUD, DACircularProgress and SDWebImage files called
