hey, i've been using KaMP Kit this week for a hack week project, it is mostly excellent at getting a project up and running quickly. One request:
• default to bundling the iOS code as a binary Framework (checked in?) so iOS devs don't need JVM/AndroidSDK
• have a build flag or separate target on the iOS side that does the full "build the framework from source" pass
I've never done much iOS build tinkering, but this would be super helpful for getting iOS folks onboarded in a painless way and it would make the build times much faster in the "i'm not changing any KMP code" path

Part of the original goal of KaMPKit was to make it quick to go from making changes in shared code to seeing the output on both platforms, and it builds everything from source so you don't need to deal with the configuration around publishing and consuming a binary dependency. But we have been doing a lot of thinking about binary deployments in other contexts, and experimenting with tooling to help with that. I don't know if we'd ever integrate that into KaMPKit, but stay tuned for other stuff we're been working on.

makes sense, thanks! i think i've always just felt out of my depth when trying to change iOS build stuff, so a "here's how to set up dual binary/source targets" tutorial would also suffice. but xcode changes so frequently it would go stale in months 😂
