Hello guys, I'm trying to run offical cocoapds sample <https://github.com/Kotlin/kmp-with-cocoapods-compose-sample>, when trying to run on iOS side it give me error

```&gt; Compiling ContentView.swift
  &gt; Compile ContentView.swift (arm64)
    &gt; (7, 9) Cannot find 'MainViewControllerKt' in scope```
Does anyone know what is wrong in here?

Is this normal that
```build/cocoapods/framework/ComposeApp.framework/Headers/placeholder.h ```
will be empty?

did you try running with  `pod install` first then building again for iOS?

No I didn't try running the `pod install`, but what makes a difference? It's already a pod file there. Could you please explain to me more? Thank you

The `pod install` creates a new workspace file that links the project with the dependencies (in this case, the shared module). 

You must now open your project in xcode with the newly created or updated `.xcworkspace` file and build the project there.
