A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi everybody. I've made a pure kotlin compose multiplatform app that runs on android and iOS. I'm putting some final tweaks to the iOS version (there are a couple of screens that use expect/actual).

I'm nearly there but it's slow progress as every change I make, I have to gradle build the shared framework, install it with cocoapods, then build the iOS app with xcode to see the results of my changes.

Is there a quicker/better way to develop the small bits of iOS-specific Kotlin & compose?

You could setup up kmp with out cocoapods/swiftpackage manager. If everything is in the same monorepo project.

Just create a new default project with the wizard and copy the Gradle/xcode setup. Then every time you build the iOS project it run the Gradle task an the framework is included via the searchpath framework.

There are a lot of other dependencies for iOS, so using Cocoapods isn't adding a lot ofntime
