Was playing around with the updated K/N plugin for app code. Created a new project and was delighted to see...

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.3.30-eap-45"
    kotlin("xcode-compat") version "0.1"
}

and

kotlin {
    xcode {
        setupFramework("KotlinNativeFramework")
    }
}

Is this expected to take the place of the packForXcode gradle tasks we have to create now? Any more info on what we can do with the xcode-compat gradle plugin?

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

Yes, setupFramework is meant to reduce boilerplate and simply defines a buildForXcode task, which is supposed to be invoked when building from Xcode/AppCode. The task retrieves the required information from the environment variables populated by Xcode.

There is also a setupApplication task which is used in other templates. Both helpers accept a lambda, which allows to perform additional configuration of the artifact.

Thats great. Thanks for all the hard work you all put into making these tasks easier for us😀

Nice! Is this documented somewhere?

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

No, not yet.

@Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB] Any documentation available for this yet?

@Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB] I am especially interested in how to set up a test target for an iOS-framework.

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

Sorry, no, AFAIK it has not been documented anywhere yet, and there is no support for the test targets either
