A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I have a project to develop a shared KMM library module. However, it needs to use both Sqldelight and Ktor, which are also used by our main shared common code module for the app. How can I use the same Sqlight and Ktor dependencies for both multiplatform library iOS frameworks and not duplicate the dependencies?

2 Frameworks? You can’t. they are distinct at a binary level. You’d need to create an umbrella framework including both modules, or you have duplicates (however, the compiler only includes referenced code, so you don’t necessarily get the *whole* library as a duplicate, but in situations like sqldelight, I don’t imagine there would be much of a difference)

Thanks, Kevin! Do you have any good examples of integrating umbrella frameworks like this for transitive dependencies?

None that are public. We’ve done this a bunch for clients. You basically create a kotlin module that has project dependencies on the other modules. Then export the modules, but I would not export transitively as that pulls in *everything* and will inflate the final binary with unnecessary code. If I think of a good public example I’ll send it along.

Awesome, I'll look tomorrow as well. I spent this afternoon Googling for some.

I walk through how we set this up in this post.  We _are_ using transitive export so you might want to play with that part of the configuration but it could at least be a jumping off point

I had the same problem and just created a umbrella framework. It is still in PR but if you want to see some code pieces: <https://github.com/Oztechan/CCC/pull/1205/files>
just check the `provider/build.gradle.kts`
`provider` module is it combines `client` and `analytics` modules and provide it to `ios` with cocoapods
