Can anyone help me figure out why my iOS demo project won’t compile? I’m using Cocoapods, and get this error:

demo/iosApp/iosApp/iosApp.swift:22:9: error: cannot find 'Main_iosKt' in scope
        Main_iosKt.MainViewController()
        ^~~~~~~~~~

** BUILD FAILED **

And if I inspect the ComposeApp shared module in Xcode, there is nothing inside of it.

Demo was created using Compose Multiplatform Wizard and converted to Cocoapods instead of framework

How did you compile it?

[jordond]

It’s just copied from the template.

I did notice when comparing the build/ directories of my broken one, and a working build. The broken one doesn’t have a build/../Pods.build

left - broken
right -working

[Alejandro Rios]

oh, maybe is because of that, check:

Cocoapods plugin was removed

[jordond]

Yeah I added Cocoapods back in, and when that didn’t work. I took the Android Studio KMP template that uses Cocoapods, still doesn’t work 😞

[jordond]

Hrmm it seems to be an issue of moving the generated template from a root directory into a demo/ subfolder

[Alejandro Rios]

hmm, I think you are not supposed to do that
