:wave: Hello, is that possible to install a `pod` ...

👋 Hello, is that possible to install a pod into a kotlin KMM module and then include it into the common KMM module, which is the main KMM module ?
The actual case I want to implement is in 🧵

[Andrii Yanechko]

So, I have a KMM application for JVM, Android and iOS targets and I want to implement a GoogleSignIn authentication, which would be implemented in a separate KMM module. Here is what I'm trying/willing to impelement:

:google-sso
   - androidMain: implement("google-sign-in-android-dependency")
   - iOSMain: pod("GoogleSignIn")
   - jvm: /*nothing here yet, just stubs to fulfill the api*/

:common
   - commonMain: implement(":google-sso")
   - cocoapods: extract(":google-sso")

:iosApp (this is the iOS native codebase)
   - pod 'common' => '../common'

Surprisingly, that structure didn't work, I keep getting ld: framework not found GoogleSignIn.

I even tried to add a pod 'GoogleSignIn' into the iosApp pods, but no luck.
Am I missing something and it's not possible to have cocoapods pod in "not-main" KMM module (aka common in my case) ?

P.S. Obviously, no issues on the android implementation, only on the iOS side

You need to add pod("GoogleSignIn", linkOnly=true) to common

Sadly multi-module setup isn’t supported well at the moment

Thanks!
Now I keep getting *Showing All Issues* > 'env pod install' command failed with an exception:

Showing All Issues
   env: pod: No such file or directory
          Full command: env pod install

          Possible reason: CocoaPods is not installed

          Please check that CocoaPods v1.10 or above is installed.

          To check CocoaPods version type 'pod --version' in the terminal

          To install CocoaPods execute 'sudo gem install cocoapods'

However, when I run pod install from the terminal - it works (but the app still not building)

P.S. my pod --version is

1.14.2

Actually dealing with this exact same problem today. our kmm project is a separate package from our apps. we have a whole bunch of submodules which get bundled together in an umbrella module. unfortunately adding a linkedOnly in the umbrella still results in a “not found”

@Andrii Yanechko could you share a full build log? Preferably with --stacktrace or --info

@Cas Van Luijtelaar the error can be caused by various reasons (for instance https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-cocoapods.html#module-not-found). Could you file an issue (or start a separate thread) with more details?

[Andrii Yanechko]

Well, I usually build iOS application from the XCode and XCode during the building phase execute a Gradle tasks. After running a Gradle task directly from the terminal it surprisingly succeded, moreover, after trying to build the iOS application from XCode after that successful Gralde execution - it succeded as well 🤷‍♂️

[Andrii Yanechko]

Thanks for helping, seems like pod("GoogleSignIn", linkOnly=true) helped me

XCode during the building phase execute a Gradle tasks

JFYI you can pass additional flags to Gradle by editing script in the build phase
