objective-c - How to temporarily disable Swift to Objective-C bridging header auto-generation?

Question

Background

Let's say project App is a 50/50 mixed Swift/Objective-C codebase. Objective-C files import some Swift via auto-generated "App-Swift.h" file.

#import "App-Swift.h"

Recap on How it Works

"App-Swift.h" file automatically includes all the Swift's classes inherited from Objective-C ones: NSObject, UIView, UITableViewCell, UIViewController, etc; and of course all the @objc and @objcMemmbers attributed things.

The Issue

When anything is added to the "App-Swift.h" - all the Objective-C files that import it - have to be recompiled. Even if what was added to Swift is actually not used in any of Objective-C files, but we just inherited from, e.g., UIView.

It all adds up when you import "App-Swift.h" into many files and it slows you down.

Possible Proper Solutions

Break down the codebase into small modules, so interface segregates; avoid NSObject inheritance; Convert as much Objective-C to Swift as possible; private all @IBOutlet, @IBAction during development; etc.

The Question: Cutting a Corner

Is there a way to disable Swift to Objective-C bridging header ("App-Swift.h") auto-generation (but keep the last generated App-Swift.h) at least manually via any of Swift compiler flags?

Any other quick win ideas here?
