Hey guys, can I use Jetbrains Compose plugin without having CocoaPods setup? The reason being I already started my KMM project with Regular Framework and due to the recent announcement I want to try compose for iOS which will need me to add Jetbrains Compose plugin as I saw in this template.

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

yes, you can. But be aware you use static framework (temporary limitation for compose) and you have to setup copying resources manually (because cocoapods helps with that)

[Raghav]

I got some of it, can u direct me to any example? Any resource where integration of Jetbrains Compose is mentioned from scratch

[Raghav]

Do you mean this line by copying resources?

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

at the moment official Compose integration is made via cocoapods. so, you have to set the config up by your own.
I don't think there is a documentation for that case

[Raghav]

I see, so is there a way to change the dependency manager from Regular Framework to Cocoapods in an ongoing KMM project?

[Konstantin Tskhovrebov]

yes. add cocoapods gradle plugin
