Hi. Im trying to add XCTest to a project. It almost works, autocomplete shows and allows me to import classes, but it fails when compiling ld: framework not found XCTest

[Giorgi]

Here is my deff file:

# A useful reference
# <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/master/kotlin-native/platformLibs/src/platform/ios>

language = Objective-C
package = platform.XCTest
depends = UIKit
modules = XCTest
# Specify the framework we want to link explicitly
linkerOpts = -framework XCTest
# Specify locations `-F` is a way to specify the search path.
# For more information on linker arguments
# <https://www.manpagez.com/man/1/ld/>
linkerOpts.ios_x64 = -F/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Frameworks
# The IDE might be showing red-squiggles here, but, this is a necessary parameter.
# Otherwise you will run into linker errors that look something like:
# ld: framework not found XCTest
linkerOpts.ios_simulator_arm64 = -F/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Frameworks
linkerOpts.ios_arm64 = -F/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Frameworks/
compilerOpts= -framework XCTest -F/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Frameworks/

and the gradle file:

compilations.getByName("main") {    // NL
            cinterops {
                val xcTestInterop by creating {
                    defFile(project.file("src/nativeInterop/cinterop/xcTestInterop.def"))
                    // <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-48807#focus=Comments-27-5210791.0-0>
                    compilerOpts("-DNS_FORMAT_ARGUMENT(A)=")
                }
            }
        }

and when running it:

not sure here what to do, Im new to native. Tried different paths for linkerOpts but can not get it to work

[Giorgi]

any ideas?
