# multiplatform

[Graham]

Hi all. I'm researching Kotlin Multiplatform for an upcoming project. I want to share business logic across 3 existing apps on three different platforms - Android, iOS and web (VueJS). I've followed this tutorial for creating a basic multiplatform library. Now I want to integrate this library into the 3 apps, but I'm unsure how. Is there a blog post, video tutorial etc that covers this for all three platforms? Thanks!

Are the consumer Apps also using the kotlin multiplatform plugin or not? - if not using the kotlin multiplatform plugin is a bit more challenging but if using the kotlin multiplatform plugin is a matter of pushing the library to a maven repo and just add the dependency on the client App.

How do your iOS teams expect to consume 3rd party libraries currently? Swift Package Manager (SPM) is most likely the front-runner but Cocoapods is also pretty common. If you want to publish your code as a binary framework then I would. suggest you take a look at Touchlab’s KMMBridge tooling

thanks @Alejandro Rios. Do you know of a similar tutorial for web apps? e.g Let's say I have an existing web app written in VueJS, and I want to create a Kotlin Multiplatform library, then use the library's methods from my web app. How would I go about that?

thanks for the resource @psh. Ideally SPM, but Cocoapods would work too. I'll have a look into it

@Graham for Kotlin/JS output, you may look at this post where I have tried to define all options to distribute and integrate the lib

@Alejandro Rios When trying to integrate cocoapods in a kmm module i am getting the following error:

org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Build file '/Users/IdeaProjects/multiplatform-lib/build.gradle.kts' line: 1
Plugin [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.native.cocoapods'] was not found in any of the following sources:

Anything i am missing ?
