Hey all! Does anyone know if there's a workaround for the deprecation of cocoapods trunk? I saw this Kotlin ticket, but it doesn't look like there's been any work to prioritize enabling non-cocoapods third party dependencies in apps: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-53877

I'm going to be honest. Our product is in deep sh#$ if there's no solution for this. The only possible solution I have right now is to download XCframework binary files directly and import them into our code so they can be referenced as local libraries rather than 3rd party dependencies, but that's honestly months of work for our team and it just seems like a temporary workaround until this is actually enabled.

Cocoapods isn't going to disappear tomorrow. There's still time for solutions to emerge from JetBrains and from the community, such as spm4Kmp above, and in the meantime nothing is going to break about your current setup for at least a year.

If you want to get some more attention for this issue beyond just adding stars on the ticket, the KMP survey is probably a good place to add some feedback
