Hi! I know that using cocoapods I can integrate in kotlin 3rd party libraries via pod like:

cocoapods {
        version = "1.0.0"
        summary = "Some description for the Shared Module"
        homepage = "Link to the Shared Module homepage"
        ios.deploymentTarget = "14.1"
        podfile = project.file("../iosApp/Podfile")
        framework {
            baseName = "shared"
            isStatic = true
        }
        extraSpecAttributes["resources"] = "['src/commonMain/resources/**', 'src/iosMain/resources/**']"

        pod("FirebaseAnalytics") {
            version = "~> 10.13"
        }
    }

But what about integrating them and then exporting as XCFramework like this:?

val xcf = XCFramework()
listOf(
    iosX64(),
    iosArm64(),
    iosSimulatorArm64()
).forEach {
    it.binaries.framework {
        baseName = "shared"
        xcf.add(this)
        isStatic = true

    }
}

point is I don't want to integrate the shared module via pod, because I don't want pods in my final iosApp, is it achiveable? Can I add dependencies also with the XCFramework?
It is also related to the previous message

You can, you can use SPM for doing so. However, you won't have access to the swift code or objective-c code in the 3rd party library automatically. You will have to create wrappers and bridge them from swift to kotlin

[Ivan Carracedo Asensio]

Right, the aim of the question was like adding them in a simple way(as we do with cocoapods in build.gradle) and still use it without wrappers in the kotlin code

[Pablichjenkov]

Gotcha, I haven't seen anything similar yet.

[Ivan Carracedo Asensio]

I imagined, i guess with the speed of improvement we're seeing soon there will be a way, also because cocoapods integration in the kotlin environment is limited to objc pods and swift pods are not supported (at least yet)
Thanks for your answers
