in case of ` framework` you just should use not `Bundle main` but `NSBundle bundleForClass object getClass this ` with class from framework like in plugin <https github com icerockdev moko resources blob 327eef878d929ec78cc38eb7202b99404a400874 gradle plugin src main kotlin dev icerock gradle generator IosMRGenerator kt L46>

alex009 · Answer

strange we use it in our projects in moko resources

svyatoslav.scherbina · Answer

< Konstantin Petrukhnov> I guess your framework is static In this case you can t get path to the framework bundle with `NSBundle bundleForClass` as all code including classes is linked into main application binary And this is not Kotlin specific

Konstantin Petrukhnov · Answer

< svyatoslav scherbina> how do i produce dynamic one Any example

svyatoslav.scherbina · Answer

Try configuring your framework with `isStatic = false` You may then require enabling `use frameworks` in your application `Podfile`

Konstantin Petrukhnov · Answer

< svyatoslav scherbina> It seems that isStatic and export don t work together very well Example If isStatic = false uncommented then other libs are not exported to framework

svyatoslav.scherbina · Answer

This shouldn t be related at all Could you recheck with clean build

svyatoslav.scherbina · Answer

How does it reproduce anything related to your report above gt If isStatic = false uncommented then other libs are not exported to framework I can t find an `export` in your build script Considering `isStatic` having no effect your build script doesn t seem correct Replacing `binaries findAll every ` with `binaries matching all ` makes `it isStatic = false` work as expected

Konstantin Petrukhnov · Answer

With suggested change it works Thank you very much
