## objc\_import

[View rule sourceopen\_in\_new](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/starlark/builtins_bzl/common/objc/objc_import.bzl)

```
objc_import(name, deps, hdrs, alwayslink, archives, compatible_with, deprecation, distribs, exec_compatible_with, exec_properties, features, includes, restricted_to, sdk_dylibs, sdk_frameworks, sdk_includes, tags, target_compatible_with, testonly, textual_hdrs, toolchains, visibility, weak_sdk_frameworks)
```
