I'm creating a KMP Library for mobile (Android and iOS)

I need an Xcode package to support the iOS side of things. I have the URL to this Xcode Package.

How can I add this Xcode Package to my KMP Library's dependencies for iOS?

The easiest way imo if library compliant as cocoapods:
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-cocoapods.html

For SPM, its possible with some tweaking: https://johnoreilly.dev/posts/kotlinmultiplatform-swift-package/

Also make sure library is objc supported to use from your Kotlin code.

Thank you.
It's using SPM. The article describes how to import one in a KMP Application. I'll check if something similar can be done for a KMP Library.

One option could be separating your library in two binaries, the .klib and the swift package. Clients will add the package in a standard way using Xcode ui or Package.swift, and they will add the kmp .klib in a standard way just adding the maven coordinate in iosMain.

That's indeed an option,
but i hope to avoid that, to make it easier for the users of my KLIB that i'm publishing.
My KLIB is basically a 'wrapper' around a 3rd party library that is available separately for both Android (plain maven/gradle dependency) and iOS (SPM). This wrapper abstracts commonalities into one KLIB api that then can be used by other people's commonMain of their apps. No extra work needed, just a gradle dependency in commonMain for users of my KLIB.
