What tactic should I use for the following scenario?

• I have an existing XCode project that uses XCodegen and a Podfile
• I created a KMM project with logic I want to share between JVM and iOS
What steps should I take to use my logic in my XCode project? Should I create fat frameworks? An XCFramework? Something else?

XCFramework, ideally.

[nhaarman]

Ah then I was on the right track. What would be the best way to reference it in xcode? Do I need to create a podspec file?

[louiscad]

Nope you don't. Just import it like any other XCFramework. If you don't find where, I think a Google search will quickly give the right hints.

[nhaarman]

Ah yes, it works when adding it to a target's frameworks and libraries, but that of course gets reset when I run pod install 🤔

[nhaarman]

Is there a way for Podfile to include an XCFramework without having to create a podspec file?

[louiscad]

I'd search for the issues you have on Google, you're probably not the first who gets stuff reset by Cocoapods.

[Sam]

If you’re adding the xcframework to your app’s project and not the cocoapods project, it shouldn’t be getting reset.

[nhaarman]

Hm perhaps I'm confusing some things. If I add my XCFramework to a target's frameworks and libraries and run xcodegen generate, then the XCFramework is removed again right?

@nhaarman I randomly found this searching around for a different issue, but if you’re using xcodegen you need to define the dependency in the project spec:
