Following the <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-cocoapods-libraries.html#from-the-cocoapods-repository|Add dependency on a pod library> guide, I am not able to add `MapboxMaps 10.13.1`  as a dependency to `iosMain` module; I cannot import `cocoapods.MapboxMaps.*`. Using the same instructions, I am able to successfully add `Nuke 10.5.2` as a dependency to `iosMain` and import `cocoapods.Nuke.*`

What's the difference between `MapboxMaps` and `Nuke` that allows one library to be used as an `iosMain` dependency but not the other?

I forked the multiplatform template project to reproduce the issue <https://github.com/brendanw/compose-multiplatform-template/commit/328021732a2d0cf53c9455d59f2fb229e39871de|here>

According to <https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/guides/install/#add-the-dependency|this> MapBox requires an access token for you to be able to pull the code

Yes, I have a `.netrc` file defined. I am using mapbox in my ios native code and android native code without issue.

The problem I have is I am unable to reference the mapbox library within the `shared/iosMain` module. And this manifests itself as an inability to import `cocoapods.MaxboxMaps.*`  but does not produce any error message when synchronizing/importing project.

In order to use MapBox pod in iosMain, you shouldn't add it to the Podfile, but instead add it to cocoapods block as pod("MapboxMaps"), that will generate interopbindings. Also, be aware that at the moment kotlin doesn't support pure swift only pods, only objective-c ones.

<@U05GY1L6HL4> if you check the <https://github.com/brendanw/compose-multiplatform-template/commit/328021732a2d0cf53c9455d59f2fb229e39871de|reproduction sample> I put up, that's exactly what I do

&gt; Kotlin/Native provides bidirectional interoperability with Objective-C. Objective-C frameworks and libraries can be used in Kotlin code if properly imported to the build (system frameworks are imported by default). See <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-configure-compilations.html#configure-interop-with-native-languages|compilation configurations> for more details. A Swift library can be used in Kotlin code if its API is exported to Objective-C with `@objc`. Pure Swift modules are not yet supported.

not even trying to think about what the ARC implications are yet, but I am managing to pass in a mapbox view from swift to a compose component and render within `UIKitView` as a workaround
