Getting "Unresolved reference: Class" when buildin...

# ios

[Alberto]

Getting "Unresolved reference: Class" when building the "compileKotlinIos" step - it seems the "Class" is not resolved for iOS build step, does it need a separate dependency?

Code: "operator fun <T : Any> get(apiInterface: Class<T>): LazyComponent<T>" - works fine on a non KMP build.

as in, java.lang.Class? That only exists on the JVM. Try KClass instead.

Ah got it. I'm getting "Unresolved reference: KClass" as well though? Probably need to add the kotlin reflect library?

[russhwolf]

reflect is also JVM-only, but KClass should be visible without it

[Alberto]

sorry you're right I got a different error - Type argument is not within its bounds: should be subtype of 'Any' - but sounds like it picked the KClass 🙂

[Alberto]

interestingly simply switching "Class" with "KClass" builds fine on a non-KMP project. So perhaps it's handled differently on KMP

[russhwolf]

They're different things. KClass is the return type of foo::class and Class is the return type of foo::class.java

[Alberto]

yeah but I meant that this code builds fine on non-KMP project:

import kotlin.reflect.KClass
interface Getter {
    operator fun <T : Any> get(apiInterface: KClass<T>): LazyComponent<T>
}

But fails on KMP project with:
Type argument is not within its bounds: should be subtype of 'Any'
trying to figure out why

[russhwolf]

Oh I see. That is strange

[Alberto]

Nevermind, I had forgot to update in a place "T" to "T : Any" which was causing the issue. Thanks a lot for the support!
