How to use CommonCrypto in iOS

Issue #480

Use modulemap

modulemap approach

I use modulemap in my wrapper around CommonCrypto https://github.com/onmyway133/arcane, https://github.com/onmyway133/Reindeer

For those getting header not found, please take a look https://github.com/onmyway133/Arcane/issues/4 or run xcode-select --install

Make a folder CCommonCrypto containing module.modulemap

    module CCommonCrypto {
      header "/usr/include/CommonCrypto/CommonCrypto.h"
      export *
    }

Go to Built Settings -> Import Paths
```
    ${SRCROOT}/Sources/CCommonCrypto
```

Cocoapods with modulemap approach

Here is the podspec https://github.com/onmyway133/Arcane/blob/master/Arcane.podspec

    s.source_files = 'Sources/**/*.swift'
    s.xcconfig = { 'SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS' =>
    '$(PODS_ROOT)/CommonCryptoSwift/Sources/CCommonCrypto' }
    s.preserve_paths = 'Sources/CCommonCrypto/module.modulemap'

Using module_map does not work, see https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/5271
Using Local Development Pod with path does not work, see https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/809
That’s why you see that my Example Podfile https://github.com/onmyway133/CommonCrypto.swift/blob/master/Example/CommonCryptoSwiftDemo/Podfile points to the git repo
```
    target 'CommonCryptoSwiftDemo' do
      pod 'CommonCryptoSwift', :git => 'https://github.com/onmyway133/CommonCrypto.swift'
    end
```

public header approach

Ji is a wrapper around libxml2, and it uses public header approach
It has a header file https://github.com/honghaoz/Ji/blob/master/Source/Ji.h with Target Membership set to Public
It has a list of header files for libxml2 https://github.com/honghaoz/Ji/tree/master/Source/Ji-libxml
It has Build Settings -> Header Search Paths
```
    $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2
```
It has Build Settings -> Other Linker Flags
```
    -lxml2
```

Cocoapods with public header approach

Take a look at the podspec https://github.com/honghaoz/Ji/blob/master/Ji.podspec

          s.libraries        = "xml2"
          s.xcconfig         = { 'HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS' =>           '$(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2', 'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-lxml2' }
