So, compiling some native C code wanting to include the static lib for iOS, tvOS and watchOS. Are the iosX64 , tvosX64 and watchosX64 multiplatform targets for the simulator?

e.g., iPhoneOS17.0.sdk only supports arm64, where as iPhoneSimulator.sdk supports x86_64 and arm64

[Matt Nelson]

Looking through the multiplatform plugin code and it is not clear to me if the iosX64 target is adding -isysroot /path/to/iPhoneSimulator.sdk or -isysroot /path/to/iPhoneOS.sdk, so... sort of at my wits end with it.

Yes, all of the *X64 are simulators
And AFAIK, for simulator iPhoneSimulator.sdk is used
You can take a closer look on some of the clang parameters which are passed from K/N here (I've taken them from how `cinterop`/`clang` is invoked in K/N):
• arguments: https://github.com/whyoleg/ffi-kotlin/blob/f55aab4b7026175f8fa0a45f90e5ce0a9736e83[…]cx/compiler-runner/src/commonMain/kotlin/CxCompilerArguments.kt
• examples for paths: https://github.com/whyoleg/ffi-kotlin/blob/f55aab4b7026175f8fa0a45f90e5ce0a9736e83[…]/cx/compiler-test-support/src/commonMain/kotlin/dependencies.kt
And regarding the mapping: here is mapping from KonanTarget names (directly translatable to gradle dsl naming) and unambiguous one which explicitly mention

hope this helps a bit 🙂

Was there a question for me in this? I'm not clear why you called me out.

Yeah sorry, you were the first person I thought of for help 😂

@Oleg Yukhnevich answered it though, thanks!

for future: better not to mention someone explicitly - if someone is whiling to help / know how to help - they will help
though, you can try to mention someone related to the development of some library/open-source project if you don't have answer from others after sometime
