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?

[Vivek Modi]

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

[Karlo Yu]

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.

thanks for explaning, I tried to run the pod install inside iosApp and tried to open update .xcworkspace then build the project it gives me error
