Hello,
Follow the official guide.
Or create a new KMP app from a project template of Android Studio to see an example of iOS integraition

[Piero Silvestri]

Unfortunately, it happened also to me sometimes.
When it does use XCode.

[François]

Some tips : reduce the exported content to iOS by controlling the content visibility with explicitAPI.
If your database schema is big, move the implementation outside the module.
Use isStatic = false, it may reduce the build time.

[Thierry Kh]

I actually did everything you suggested except for the database (it's tiny).
My project was built following the guide. I also tried redoing the iosApp part by following the make your KMP app runnable on iOS guide.

I will try again today with a more rested mind/body.
Felt like I was about to pass out last night.

[Thierry Kh]

Thanks for the tips. Will keep this thread updated.

Did linkDebugFrameworkIosArm64 fast?
You can also remove IosX64, if you’re working on macOS ARM.

[Thierry Kh]

So, the steps i followed to manage to build and run :
• Didn't mention it but i had to adjust the heap sizes (had errors at first)
• To get rid of the binary warning thing, i added this line :

binaryOption("bundleId", "com.bakjoul.tsbuilder.composeApp")

• Added run permission to gradlew inside the project root directory
• Made sure Koin was initialized
• Added -lsqlite3 to Other Link Flags for SqlDelight
I ran iosArm64Binaries to make it work, on the first build it takes ~3 minutes.
I guess i can just run the debug task to build faster.

[François]

Yes, you must work on debug and deliver on release

[Thierry Kh]

16gb of ram is very limited though, i wouldn't advise it

[François]

but, release shouldn’t take 1H.
I don’t know the content of your project, So I can’t say why...

[François]

16gb is enough for working

[Thierry Kh]

it's fixed i think (?), like a i said, when i run the iosArm64Binaries, it also runs linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64. This one was still running after 1 hour yesterday but i believe it was due to bad configuration

[Thierry Kh]

Can't do anything more. Ram is almost full with AS, Xcode and a simulator, and the OS can feel slow when it's reaching 15gb, but it's just my personal feeling.

[Thierry Kh]

We're not always building though so it's okay. Just not as comfortable as having 32gb (which i'm used to).

[Thierry Kh]

Thank you guys for replying and helping me. 🙏🏻

linkDebugFrameworkIosSimulatorArm64 takes less than 10 seconds. and pretty much the same for linkDebugFrameworkIosArm64 !

Curious if there's any concerns I should have using sqldelight 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT in production
