Hello. I have multiple modules in my KMP project with each module have its build.gradle.kts file which is almost duplicate.
I wanted to extract out the common gradle code to common.gradle.kts as below:

import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.apple.XCFramework

kotlin {
    android()

    val xcf = XCFramework()
    listOf(
        iosX64(),
        iosArm64(),
        iosSimulatorArm64()
    ).forEach {
        it.binaries.framework {
            baseName = moduleName // Use the moduleName parameter here
            xcf.add(this)
            isStatic = true
        }
    }
}

android {
    namespace = androidNamespace // Use the androidNamespace parameter here
    compileSdk = 34

    defaultConfig {
        minSdk = 21
        consumerProguardFiles("<http://consumer-rules.pro|consumer-rules.pro>")
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            isMinifyEnabled = false
            proguardFiles(
                getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                "<http://proguard-rules.pro|proguard-rules.pro>"
            )
        }
    }
}

But on gradle sync giving multiple errors and all related to XCFramework, iOS etc which is there in above common gradle file. Is anyone successfully creatde any common.gradle.kts?

[Pablichjenkov]

Can you post the errors?
I have only used the Xcframework in the umbrella module most known as 'composeApp' these days, shared back in time. But I haven't heard is a limitation to create an xcframework out of any module.

[Pablichjenkov]

Perhaps nesting modules that produce xcframework is a limitation but I am not sure either. Hopefully someone shed some light.

What I did was using the catalog files to have the different text values and then just use vars

[Alejandro Moya]

that way you can copy/paste the gradle scripts and apply the different values using the vars, and only change the catalog name

[Alejandro Moya]

you can use as many catalog files as you want, just don't go with the default provided, create your own catalogs

Composite builds are where it's at, imo.
