Hello there, I'm using KMM library in my project. I want to access local json files in both iOS and Android from shared resources. I don't want to use files from iOS App.

I have written following code in shared/src/commonMain/iOSMain but its not working

val bundle = NSBundle.mainBundle
val path = bundle.pathForResource(name = "sample2", ofType = "json") ?: "File not found"

I have put my json files in commonMain/resources/sample2.json

I have also try by putting it in commonMain/resources/iOSMain/sample2.json Still its not working.

Any suggestions?

At first, you can check if the wanted file is inside the generated iOS app, if not means the file is not copied inside the app bundle.

we are trying build library with kotlin multiplatform

Oh, you can't use NSBundle.mainBundle in this case

[François]

mainBundle means the application bundle

[François]

A library use a different bundle
