Hi everyone

We are using org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.apple.XCFramework instead of the CocoaPods Plugin to build our framework. This way we do get a MissingResourceException when we attempt to access a resource on iOS. Is it possible that this approach is not supported with Kotlin 1.9.0 and Compose 1.5.0-beta02? Or to put it differently: Is the CocoaPods plugin necessary in order to package resources correctly?

Did you perform the steps described here https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0346LWVBJ4/p1692089568476769 ???

[Milchschlumpf]

this still needs the CocoaPods plugin

[Marc Dietrichstein]

Thanks @Francis Mariano and @Milchschlumpf

I was able to resolve the issue by executing ./gradlew podInstall. Initially, I had skipped this step as I wasn’t using the Cocoapods Plugin.

I hope this goes away. I don’t like CocoaPods.

[Milchschlumpf]

Here is an example for using the regular framework: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/pull/3340

[Stefan Oltmann]

Can't run podInstall, because my project hasn't any CocoaPods config.

What's the magic that this one podInstall run performs? 🤔

[Milchschlumpf]

You don't need to run podInstall if you use the RegularFramework (atleast I didn't)

[Stefan Oltmann]

Looks like it. I just made it work. The task embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode is the one copying the resources and they are located in a subfolder "compose-resources". This wasn't obvious to me

[Stefan Oltmann]

I replaced it now with syncComposeResourcesForIos
