I want to define some default values in my shared common, and use the values in Android and iOS but for some reason the default values are lost. somebody here that know whats up?

[Stefan de Kraker]

is there another way to do so?

[Nicklas Jensen]

What do you mean when you say they're not there? The generated Objective-C headers don't contain any implementation of your code - they're analogous to the expect declarations in Kotlin. You can access the values of DimensionsObject in Swift like this:

let foo = DimensionsObject.shared.radiusSmall

[Stefan de Kraker]

In Android and iOS I would to share the same spacing values

[Stefan de Kraker]

those values are fixex and do not change

[Nicklas Jensen]

Sure, and you can. In this case you just have to use the .shared property to access the singleton instance of your object. You can read more about this and other things about Interoperability with Swift/Objective-C

[Stefan de Kraker]

I just get:
Type 'DimensionsObject' has no member 'shared'

[Nicklas Jensen]

Can you share a snippet of the Swift code you're using?

[Stefan de Kraker]

import shared
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView() {
            ScrollView {
                LazyVGrid(columns: columns) {
                    ForEach(filteredPokemon, id: \.self) {pokemon in
                        PokemonOverviewItemCard(pokemon: pokemon)
                    }
                }
                .padding(.horizontal, CGFloat(DimensionsObject.shared.radiusSmall))
                .animation(.easeIn(duration: 0.3), value: filteredPokemon.count)
            }
            .refreshable { handleOnAppear() }
            .searchable(text: $searchText)
            .onAppear(perform: handleOnAppear)
            .navigationTitle("All Pokémon")
        }
        .navigationViewStyle(.stack)
    }

[Nicklas Jensen]

Okay. What if you change it to this:

DimensionsObject().radiusSmall

This was how we used to access the properties of an object in previous versions of Kotlin/Native

[Stefan de Kraker]

that does the trick!

[Nicklas Jensen]

It's weird though. You should be able to use the .shared syntax 🤔

[Nicklas Jensen]

Which version of Kotlin are you using?

[Stefan de Kraker]

1.8.1

object Constants {

val name = “iOS/Android”
}

we can access
Constants().name in iOS
Constants.name in android
if you build without errors.
