kotlinlang

For our iOS project we create a Framework from our shared Kotlin code. We actually have two multiplatform kotlin modules: 'shared' and 'shared-ui', where 'shared-ui' has a dependency on 'shared'. When importing the generated framework from the 'shared-ui' module, we can access everything in 'shared-ui' from Swift, but not from its dependency 'shared'. There are some exceptions: if for example a function in 'shared-ui' takes a type from 'shared' as an argument, then that type _is_ exposed to Swift, but with a `Shared` prefix. Some other types that are exposed in 'shared', but not used in the api of 'shared-ui' seem not accessible at all from Swift code.

Is there a way to fix this? We'd like all code from both the 'shared' and the 'shared-ui' module to be available to Swift. Ideally also without the `Shared` prefix, but that is something we could live with if needed.

Nevermind, I just found the <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-build-native-binaries.html#export-dependencies-to-binaries|export option> which does exactly what we need! :ok_hand:

I noticed that KMP will export any transitive dependency if it detects is in a public position. Like the case you mentioned, a public function that exposes it. Related to the naming prefix you can also name specific classes using the annotation `@ObjCName`
