I figured out you can also add it directly to the Xcode project If it gets recognized as a resource it will be added to the IPA If you imported `implementation compose components resources ` you can use it this way ```Image painter = painterResource blubb xml contentDescription = null ``` I m sure that moko resource is a great library to handle that but I always try to keep my dependencies to a minimum Therefore a Gradle task will copy my resources

< Magdalena Tsolaki> I follow the documentation but strings are not generating any idea ```public expect object MR public object strings ResourceContainer lt StringResource gt public object plurals ResourceContainer lt PluralsResource gt public object images ResourceContainer lt ImageResource gt public object fonts ResourceContainer lt FontResource gt public object files ResourceContainer lt FileResource gt public object colors ResourceContainer lt ColorResource gt public object assets ResourceContainer lt AssetResource gt ```

Hello < Stefan Oltmann> you shared a very nice idea for creating a gradle task yourself for copying image resources from common I want to know if I just copy the files into ios directory will it be sufficient Or any other xcode command needs to be executed as well

Stefan Oltmann · Answer

I did not write it yet since I was tasked with other priorities but it could be possible that some kind of Xcode command is needed If I copy it manually my project file changes I planned to look up how the existing resource copying works for the cocoapods plugin But maybe Jetbrains is faster with their solution and I don t need that gradle task as a workaround

Anum Amin · Answer

Currently Images are not found in iOS if I keep them in commonMain resources I manually have to copy them to iOSMain as well in order to avoid runtime crash Therefore KMM or cocoapods don t do this for us I am using multiplatform compose

Stefan Oltmann · Answer

It indeed needs some configuration to work with CocoaPods <https github com JetBrains compose multiplatform ios android template blob 29ce600cb86a23c343c56aed7b8a18fa00db40b4 shared build gradle kts L25> But you can manually copy it into your Xcode project and it will work See my screenshot above

Anum Amin · Answer

Thank you yes I am aware about this one but again it also requires resources to be copied manually to iosMain

Stefan Oltmann · Answer

Why do you need that

Anum Amin · Answer

App will crash otherwise on iOS Resources are not copied if I keep them in CommonMain Works fine on Android
