Hi, i am using kotlin multiplatform and i need to use a cocoapods library (IOSDFULibrary from nordic) and at the same time i need my project to create a xcframework. from what i read here, i can only use cocoapods or xcframework. Is there a way to use a cocoapod in multiplatform without using cocoapods in build.gradle? Or is there another way how i can do this? on kotlin 1.7.20 doing both at the same time works, but now i am forced to upgrade to 1.9.10 if i want to use the latest xcode version. Any thoughts or ideas for this problem?

No. It's independent things. You can use the cocoapods plugin to integrate 3d party deps to your project. And build your kotlin project as a xcframework at the same time

if i try i get the unique attributes error, that says i need to add a dummy attribute but i dont even know where and how i should add this.

Have you tried to build a xcframework by the cocoapods plugin provided task? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-build-native-binaries.html

i have something like this:

iosX64()
iosArm64()

cocoapods {
    ios.deploymentTarget = "13.0"

    summary = "Some description for a Kotlin/Native module"
    homepage = "Link to a Kotlin/Native module homepage"

    podfile = project.file("../MyProject_iOS/Podfile")
    pod("iOSDFULibrary") {
        version = "4.13.0"
    }

    framework {
        baseName = "MyProject"
        isStatic = true
    }
}

val xcf = XCFramework()
val iosTargets = listOf(iosX64(), iosArm64())

iosTargets.forEach {
    it.binaries.framework {
        baseName = "MyProject"
        xcf.add(this)
    }
}

which ends in an: Consumable configurations with identical capabilities within a project (other than the default configuration) must have unique attributes. Thanks for your help @Konstantin Tskhovrebov

i got problems with those tasks: sharedpodDebugFrameworkIosFat' and [configuration 'shareddebugFrameworkIosFat'] if i kill the cocoapods or the xcframework it works

Could you share the exact error log? I don't understand the problem

Sure here it is:

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':shared:transformAppleMainCInteropDependenciesMetadataForIde'.

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration 'sharedappleMainResolvableDependenciesMetadata'.

> Consumable configurations with identical capabilities within a project (other than the default configuration) must have unique attributes, but configuration 'sharedpodDebugFrameworkIosFat' and [configuration 'shareddebugFrameworkIosFat'] contain identical attribute sets. Consider adding an additional attribute to one of the configurations to disambiguate them. Run the 'outgoingVariants' task for more details. See https://docs.gradle.org/8.0/userguide/upgrading_version_7.html#unique_attribute_sets for more details. * Try:

Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Run with --scan to get full insights.

What is kotlin version you use?

at the moment 1.9.10

Hmm. @a-dd do you know the reason for that? @Simon Buechner could you delete the xcframwork config from your script and try to run the task again?

yes sure. it successfully builds.

You don't need the fatframework if there is the xcframework

the thing is, i always only used the fat-framework but i needed to use the xcframework plugin that the fat-framework could be used in the xamarin project.

@a-dd do you know the reason for that?
