Hi there. How can I call Cocoapods library from iOSMain common code? I want to write a wrapper for socket io using expect/actual and just don't know how to import iOS side Socket IO dependency into Kotlin code

Take a look here https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-cocoapods-libraries.html

I have seen that link. It's not really helping

Is a gradle sync successful in your case? Are there any warnings or errors?

[Hasan Nagizade]

Gradle sync is successful but cocoapods import is not available

[a-dd]

Can you share the build script or maybe the full project?

[Hasan Nagizade]

you mean build.gradle file?

[a-dd]

Yes

[Hasan Nagizade]

sure. sharing files right now. here's my podfile.

[Hasan Nagizade]

this is shared build.gradle file

build.gradle.kts

[Hasan Nagizade]

root build.gradle file.

build.gradle.kts

[Hasan Nagizade]

is there any other file that you need?

[Hasan Nagizade]

kotlin.mpp.enableCInteropCommonization=true is enabled in gradle.properties file

You should add pod-dependency to cocoapods block of the build.gradle not to the podfile

[Hasan Nagizade]

just added but no luck. still cocoapods can't be linked from iOSMain

[a-dd]

And still no warnings/errors during sync?

[Hasan Nagizade]

only this nothing else

[a-dd]

There should be smth like fatal error: module 'Socket' not found

This can be fixed by adding moduleName to the dependency declaration, like this:

pod("Socket.IO-Client-Swift", version = "15.2.0", moduleName = "SocketIO")

[Hasan Nagizade]

there isn't any errors but after adding module name it became visible with semi/autocompletition.

I consider this as a win thank you @a-dd
