When I change the shared module, what Gradle task can I use to rebuild the shared Framework for XCode to notice the changes?

assembleSharedReleaseXCFramework

Hmm, task not found...

Currently I just click the "Run iosApp" button. The app obviously fails, but the framework is built and then I can make relevant changes in XCode. But there should be a "cleaner" way.

Do you have a XCFramework configured?

This is my config:

val xcf = XCFramework()

/* App Store */
iosArm64 {
    binaries.framework {
        baseName = "shared"
        embedBitcode("bitcode")
        xcf.add(this)
    }
}

/* Intel iOS Simulator */
iosX64 {
    binaries.framework {
        baseName = "shared"
        xcf.add(this)
    }
}

That should add an assemble*Shared*ReleaseXCFramework if your framework also is named "shared".

Ah ok

[Lukasz Kalnik]

I have the default setup generated by the KMM plugin

[Lukasz Kalnik]

iosTarget("ios") {
        binaries {
            framework {
                baseName = "shared"
            }
        }
    }

I will add the xcf setup, thanks!
