For anyone still stuck in a similar situation, I was able to reproduce the scenario.
objc (instancetype)initWithInitialFilter:(nullable ArticleFilter *)filter
channelProvider:(id)channelProvider
offlineContentManager:(OfflineContentManager *)offlineContentManager;
The OP mentions the following:
The objc-c header in question is listed my bridging header (all are listed)
In such an instance, all classes viz. ArticleFilter, OfflineContentManager also need to be in the bridging header.
Assume that ArticleFilter is implemented in Swift. In such a case, the method would not show up. Importing the "Module-Swift.h" causes a cyclic linking issue so you'd make a class definition in that header using @class ArticleFilter so the method signature continues to make sense.
The only way I've gotten it to work without breaking anything is to convert the method to something like:
objc (instancetype)initWithInitialFilter:(id)filter
channelProvider:(id)channelProvider
offlineContentManager:(OfflineContentManager *)offlineContentManager;
The method change only needs to happen in the header file. No changes are required in the implementation file. It isn't optimum, makes things confusing sometimes, but it works. I hope we get a better solution in the near future.
