Hey guys.
How can we use InjectionIII with the new KMM project with Gradle generating the Xcodeproject ?
In essence, I'd like to use this method : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/objc/create-a-swiftui-application.html
but in a project created by AppCode with Gradle.

Hi!
I haven’t tried it by myself, but it seems it should work without any big differences.
You still have AppDelegate with didFinishLaunch , where you setup InjectionIII.
The only difference is that you would need to setup build settings Other Linker Flags in build.gradle.kts by using buildSettings.OTHER_LDFLAGS("") . If you create a new project you will see the commented example:

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.gradle.apple.applePlugin") version "212.4638.14-0.14"
}

apple {
    iosApp {
        productName = "DeleteMeKMA2"

        sceneDelegateClass = "SceneDelegate"
        launchStoryboard = "LaunchScreen"

        //productInfo["NSAppTransportSecurity"] = mapOf("NSAllowsArbitraryLoads" to true)
        //buildSettings.OTHER_LDFLAGS("")

        dependencies {
            implementation(project(":shared"))
        }
    }
}

Would that work for you?

Tried that before posting 😉
Doesn’t work.
The reason is, I believe, because the generated xcodeproj lives in build/apple/iosApp while sources are in src/iosAppMain, which InjectionIII is not watching (it is only watching sub directories of the directory containing the xcodeproj).
Also, I couldn’t find a way to start the app in DEBUG (so I had to remove #if DEBUG to get InjectionIII stratup messages).

Having live previews is paramount to declarative UI programming with frameworks such as SwiftUI. We’ve used AppCode & InjectionIII with great success on a previous project. Not having InjectionIII working (or any other form of live preview) is, I believe, a major roadblock in adopting this new project model.
