Hey sorry to ping you directly but I was readin

Question

Hey < russhwolf> sorry to ping you directly but I was reading through Kermit docs and was wondering if you knew how I m supposed to get a logger instance like this example is showing in a comment

Josh Eldridge · Answer

I m also wondering if this exposed API will work if we re using a XCFramework with swift package manager and not cocoapods as the docs also say the cocoapods export is required

Fyi there s a < CTJB58X7X|touchlab tools> channel now for touch lab library support

Josh Eldridge · Answer

thank you Michael I ll start using that smile

Michael Friend · Answer

I can also answer you question for you lemme just double check the docs to refresh my memory

Michael Friend · Answer

So that bit i think is just left as an exercise to the reader since it sort of depends on your architecture For example in <https github com touchlab KaMPKit blob 47fdcf07abc5ade99bdaeeae697af801263fc45e ios KaMPKitiOS BreedListScreen swift L13|KampKit> they get an instance through koin with a tagged helper function in iosMain so if youre using a custom logger instance and koin thatll probably be the best way to go If youre using static logging you can just export the `kermit simple` module and theres ios helper functions in there that you can call directly statically they should show up as like `LoggerKt v` etc

Michael Friend · Answer

If youre not using koin or static you can also just do the config on the kotlin side and provide a way for ios to easily get a reference to it however you prefer

Josh Eldridge · Answer

I believe we ll want to use the static logger at least while I m researching Based off my experimentation I m guessing if we re using swift package manager and not cocoapods that `LoggerKt v` wouldn t be exposed to swift As exposing via ```cocoapods framework export co touchlab kermit 2 0 0 RC4 export co touchlab kermit simple 2 0 0 RC4 ``` Doesn t change our output XCFramework that s generated And I don t get any references to `LoggerKt` from Swift But I guess we could get a reference like you mentioned by doing something like ```import co touchlab kermit Logger object OurSharedLogger fun d message String Logger d message ``` From `commonMain`

Yea i think it s probably a difference between cocoa pods and spm Iirc i think there s a way to export a Gradle dep through spm but i don t remember how

Josh Eldridge · Answer

Yeah that makes sense thanks for the support

russhwolf · Answer

For SPM you can export when you declare your framework using basically the same syntax ```targets withType lt KotlinNativeTarget gt binaries framework export ```
