hi, can anyone recommend code samples for MVIKotlin on iOS with traditional UIView-based `ViewController`s? I'd like to migrate to MVIKotlin before migrating to SwiftUI

I have not seen any examples yet, but that should be quite similar to the Android example - https://github.com/arkivanov/MVIKotlin/tree/master/sample/coroutines/app-android/src/main/java/com/arkivanov/mvikotlin/sample/coroutines/app/main

The shared code structure should be similar. In iOS, just instantiate your shared entry points (a ViewModel or a Controller, etc.) in a ViewController, and implement the view interface using BaseMviView class. Use LifecycleRegistry to manually controll the lifecycle from ViewController callabacks. This should work I guess.

great, thanks! I'll try that out

@Arkadii Ivanov I'm checking out this sample and trying to work out the source for LifecycleRegistryKt in LifecycleWrapper, mainly this line:

let lifecycle = LifecycleRegistryKt.LifecycleRegistry()

Do you know how this is sourced? It seems to be implicitly pulled in through essenty which TodoLib pulls in via its build.gradle.kts. But when I do the same in my app, I still can't resolve LifecycleRegistryKt and don't see anything relevant in my shared library's generated header file (the equivalent of TodoLib.h)

You have to export required dependencies explicitly - https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/blob/41743d10f00b3df6c4a16eba7c60533b9cd253ac/examples/todoapp/common/root/build.gradle.kts#L18

ah, thanks! I do that for other deps but forgot about it

@Arkadii Ivanov I was going to ask about an issue I just hit with the iOS example in MVIKotlin having unimplemented coroutines dispatchers but it seems you recently addressed that 🙂

[Travis Reitter]

an issue I just hit after the update though is, when I try to open the todo-app-ios project file in Xcode, I get:

Project MVIKotlin/sample/todo-app-ios/todo-app-ios.xcodeproj cannot be opened because it is missing its project.pbxproj file.

[Arkadii Ivanov]

I believe it worked for me, but thanks for raising! Could you please file an issue on GitHub?

[Travis Reitter]

I think I figured out what's going on but there's some simple clean-up to do: https://github.com/arkivanov/MVIKotlin/issues/42
