Anyone has a good tutorial for shared resources (drawable, strings, colors) ? Moko isn't working with kotlin 1.9+. I tried to follow https://www.netguru.com/blog/kotlin-multiplatform-resources but i don't have a resourceGeneratorTask.

[Jhaman das]

What issue you are facing? As i am also using moko its working fine as excepted.

[Soundlicious]

With which kotlin version ?
I can't get the MR object generated

[Jhaman das]

I am using kotlin 1.9.20

[Soundlicious]

And it worked immediately following the installation tuto from the readme ?

[Jhaman das]

No.

But you need to add dependsOn(commonMain) inside the android block in shared build.gradle file

[Soundlicious]

Yeah i tried that, spent my afternoon yesterday trying all the fixes i could find but nothing worked 🥲

[Soundlicious]

Turns out I just might not get the idea out of it... MR object exist but only outside commonMain packages

[Soundlicious]

So I just need to changed my shared data class and not expect an ImageResources in it.

[Soundlicious]

@Jhaman das Would it be possible to see your build.gradle ?

[Raed Ghazal]

works for me on kotlin 1.9.*
commonMain dependencies

api("dev.icerock.moko:resources:0.23.0")
api("dev.icerock.moko:resources-compose:0.23.0")

iOS targets

framework {
    baseName = "shared"
    isStatic = true
    export("dev.icerock.moko:resources:0.23.0")
}

had to also do that

val androidMain by getting {
     sourceSets {
         getByName("androidMain").kotlin.srcDirs("build/generated/moko/androidMain/src")
}

and

val iosX64Main by getting {
    resources.srcDirs("build/generated/moko/iosX64Main/src")
}
val iosArm64Main by getting {
    resources.srcDirs("build/generated/moko/iosArm64Main/src")
}
val iosSimulatorArm64Main by getting {
    resources.srcDirs("build/generated/moko/iosSimulatorArm64Main/src")
}

[Raed Ghazal]

had to also do that

this part found in one of the issues in their github as a temp fix until they fix their code

[Soundlicious]

And you can access MR in the commonMain module ? I still have no build for the resources there, just the expect MR

[Raed Ghazal]

yes

[Raed Ghazal]

no build for the resources there

even after you rebuild the app?

[Soundlicious]

Yep, even after rebuilding, still no resources in commonMain, just the expect MR object.

[Soundlicious]

Quite frustrating

[Raed Ghazal]

are you sure you’re using the latest version?

[Raed Ghazal]

had similar issues in the past

[Soundlicious]

mokoResources = "0.23.0"

[Raed Ghazal]

hmm

[Raed Ghazal]

can you show your ”

multiplatformResources

” block?

[Soundlicious]

I only left the mandatory part :

multiplatformResourcesPackage = "dev.nar.resources" // required

[Soundlicious]

Ah! it actually work, just the reference can't be find by the autocomplete

[Soundlicious]

Spent 2 days battling with it, because of that 😮‍💨

[Raed Ghazal]

ah shit 😄 good to know you fixed it

[Soundlicious]

Yep, thanks for the help, I'll finally be able to start my project... until the next problem 😄

[Raed Ghazal]

trust me, you will face many.. 😄

[Raed Ghazal]

but feel free to ask

[Soundlicious]

Oh I'm sure I'll, even with a relatively easy to do app ^^ Won't hesitate to ask thanks
