05/15/2025, 7:27 PMHi! I'm trying to do the compose multiplaform starter thing, just to learn stuff, and I can't get my iphone app to fire up 😞
All I get from the IDE is this error, I do have an iphone simulator up, so it got part of the way there. Any advice?

05/15/2025, 9:00 PMI do have xcode 16+ installed, I was able to fire up the simulator. I did launch Xcode once to make sure that runs.

05/15/2025, 9:05 PMHmmm. Android Studio or IntelliJ? Also, how are you attempting to run the app? From the terminal? Or a run configuration?

beepdog
05/15/2025, 9:11 PMAndroid Studio, from the run configuration just like the tutorial shows 🙂 I wasn't sure how to run it from the terminal, tbh, I haven't gotten that far in any tutorials, and no gradle task jumped out at me yet.

05/15/2025, 9:42 PMBe sure that you are linking the built iOS framework in the Build Phases.
Are you able to run the app via Xcode?
I started a project from scratch and basically got the same thing you did when I tried to run the app from Xcode. I added the framework (called ComposeApp.framework here) and then I was able to run the app from Xcode.
Still having an issue with running from AS. I'll play with it some more.

05/15/2025, 9:59 PMI don't know how to do anything on iOS, I only have a macbook through work, so this is baby's first iOS app, and I know next to nothing about xcode 🙂
If I open xcode, will it be reasonably easy to figure out? And I'm gonna head home so no more Apple Computer debugging 😞

05/15/2025, 10:00 PMHeh. It's relatively straightforward.

05/15/2025, 10:01 PMI opened the iosApp folder in xcode, and it didn't complain too much. I hit the Go button on it, and there's a spinning iphone simulator thingy
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:02 PMoh it worked!
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:02 PMwell kinda
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:02 PMthe app showed up, but it's empty
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:02 PMAH, it just took a while and it cause the iphone to restart?
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:02 PMthis is a rollercoaster
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:02 PMwelp, it can wait until tomorrow anyway. I got something to happen, so that's nice
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:03 PMwell that was quite strange, but it did work eventually
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:03 PMgood enough for me at the moment
beepdog
05/15/2025, 10:03 PMThanks for the advice
